I thank the Minister for coming here to discuss this all important Bill. I welcome Tomás Heneghan and congratulate him on his action in the Supreme Court last year. I say that because for many years I have felt that the university panel should have been expanded to other third level institutes.

I must declare that I have a vote from NUI. When I graduated after gaining a master's degree, Senator Mullen was one of the first people to tell me that I am entitled to a vote and explained how to go about registering.
