By no means are we trying to delay this Bill but we have asked for a proper debate within the House. We are not talking about delaying this for months or weeks. I understand the Minister's frustrations arising from the many delays and roadblocks but we all want a noise regulator for Dublin Airport. We want the best we can get.

I am sorry but I have a different view from Senator Reilly. I was a councillor, like many Members here.The most significant work a councillor does when first elected is work on the development plan. Councillors, or at least those who are interested in representing the people, put hours and hours of work into developing a plan for their county or city.
