I ask the Acting Leader of the House - I am sure it would assist Senator Kelly also - when Committee Stage of the Wind Turbines Bill 2012 be taken? The Labour Party has asserted its power in the House. Obviously, it is a powerful group and has made major changes.

More than the Senator's party.

Unfortunately, we have lost an officeholder from the west. That is most regrettable because we need every job in the west.

And the midlands.

Yes, particularly in Sligo. The Bill is important but there has been resistance to it at Government level from the Minister and his Department. I commend Senator Kelly because the Bill has received tremendous coverage in the local media - so much so that people think it has been passed. This is a wonderful achievement. There has been so much radio coverage that people presume the Bill has been passed.

It is no thanks to Senator Leyden.

A meeting was held in Mullingar last night.

The Senator has run over time.

No, I am entitled to more time because there is a special provision relating to Bills.

There is but there is also a clock, Senator.

I will have to ask the Clerk to check the Standing Orders.

The Senator must check that it is right.

Has Senator Leyden a question for the acting Leader?
