The Minister for Finance did promise it. He said last week that it was not a problem in Limerick. He promised to change the Personal Insolvency Act. He introduced the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act, which was more like an eviction Act. It was just a fancy name for it. I am glad the Minister for Finance is remaining at home and I wish the Minister for Education and Skills well on her travels because the rest of the Government will be gone. People are suffering. A total of 55 cases are being heard in Clonmel today - half the county. There were 200 cases in Limerick last week, but does the Government care? Members of the Government have left the country. It is a Government in absentia. Where is the judicial council Bill? Deputy Ross introduced a Bill last session. Where is the criminal justice (corruption) Bill? We need this Bill to stop corruption.
