We will hear the Leader respond in one minute.

On another matter, I understand Senator Gerard P. Craughwell's request and must give him the benefit of the doubt. Unlike some of us, he was never a councillor, but he means well.

I thank the Senator so much.

I wholeheartedly agree with the points made by Senator Diarmuid Wilson.

Let us work together then.

This House has unanimously passed a resolution. Of course, we are helpful and we want to be helpful.

Then bring in the Minister.

We should not in any way try to upstage what the councillors, through their own executives and their trade associations, are engaged in. I am going to shut up on that point, but I totally agree with what Senator Diarmuid Wilson said. The Senator knows what we are doing and what we have done.

Do I detect a slightly condescending tone from Senator Paul Coghlan in respect of matters in this House around collusion and councillors? Things have not improved on either front. Let us call a spade a spade. Action is needed on the collusion issue and on councillors. On the issue of councillors, political representation is vital to our citizens at all levels. I was a councillor, as were many others in this House. We have failed our councillors in one essential way. They have no pension rights.

We know all that. We have dealt with it.

Gabh mo leithscéal. I have the floor. They have this class K PRSI contribution that gives them no rights-----

There will be a motion on the matter tomorrow.
