As a carryover from yesterday, I call Deputy Michael Collins, for a question and not a speech.

In the programme for Government, under political and constitutional reform, it is stated that the new political landscape in Ireland presents a historic opportunity to reform Irish politics radically. As this Thirty-second Dáil appears to be coming to an end, the opportunity to reform Irish politics radically has been totally missed, as we can see over recent weeks. I feel that the image of the Dáil bar, where alcohol is available during working hours, sends out a very bad image. I know of no other workplace where alcohol is served during working hours. I have no issue with the Dáil bar serving non-alcoholic beverages or with a cafe. The availability of alcohol here in our workplace is wrong.

This is not a question on promised legislation.

While alcohol is available in the Dáil bar while the Dáil is in session, many people in rural Ireland cannot go to their local pub for a social drink or to meet.

What about visitors?

This is not relevant. I call the Taoiseach.

I have a question. These rules are leading to rural isolation-----

No, there is a committee sitting to deal with that.

Some communities are attempting to deal with this issue by proposing a community car-----

No. The problem is that the Deputy just wants to make that contribution. He is here long enough to know that is not a question for the Taoiseach.

It is a-----

There are various committees in the House dealing with this.

-----new community car initiative being rolled out in rural Ireland.

This is a disgrace.

The Deputy is totally stretching things.

Will the Taoiseach roll out this programme across rural Ireland? It is being rolled out at the moment in parts of rural Ireland.

No, stop, Deputy, please. This is not relevant. I would not expect the Taoiseach to answer that. There are committees in the House dealing with this.

Deputy Collins is looking for cheap publicity. That is all.

I call Deputy Brendan Smith, who is a carryover from yesterday.
