Regarding the noise nuisance Bill-----

Deputy McGrath is qualified.

No, seriously. This is in section C of the Government legislation programme. Can the Minister extend or improve the powers available to the enforcement authorities to prevent noise or to reduce and abate noise? Last night, at the homecoming of the victorious Kilkenny team, which I congratulate, the noise of the booing broke all decimal levels when the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan-----

Will Deputy McGrath please resume his seat? This is a House of Parliament. I call Deputy Healy-Rae.

They were so jubilant but they booed the Minister, Deputy Hogan.

Deputy McGrath is proscribed.

Was Deputy McGrath at the gate collecting fivers?

I called Deputy Healy-Rae. It is bad enough the way things are going without making a total show of ourselves in here.
