I would like to ask the Taoiseach about the local government reform Bill. It is vitally important for the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to recognise the excellent work that is carried out by local authority members and county councillors throughout the country.

I am sure we all appreciate that, Deputy.

The Deputy is concerned about the family business.

There is a very important point here, a Cheann Comhairle.

We will find out about the Bill for the Deputy.

The Minister in question has a unique and special gift for making a mess of every issue he deals with. It is important that he does not make a mess of this issue too.

I do not know how that relates to the Order of Business.

I have asked about the local government reform Bill.

When is the Bill due?

Was it the Deputy's cousin or his brother who told him to raise this issue?

We have to recognise that the Minister has a unique gift for making a mess of everything he puts his hand to.

It will be the local government destruction Bill.

I note the smiles of acknowledgment from the Minister's colleagues.

The Minister is not in the business of destroying family businesses.

He has destroyed a lot of them.
