Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

Senator Thomas Byrne hit the nail on the head when he said the last Government talked about these types of reforms. It spoke about them for many years, but this Government is acting on the reforms that were proposed. That is why we are dealing with this legislation today. I suggest that we let these reforms go through and let a breath of fresh air go through Government. Rather than talking about reform, we seek action. This legislation represents one aspect of the action that is required.
