It is an Independent Senator looking for this. It would be nice to be included.

The all-party approach was there well in advance of the motions that were put down. We appreciate certainly-----

I have also put down freedom of information requests.

The Leader, without interruption.

I appreciate the fact Senator Craughwell has been appointed a rapporteur on PRSI for councillors. I am sure he will do an excellent job on that. As I said, the all-party group met with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Alan Kelly, on this and made a strong case for the matter, as well as for remuneration for councillors.

Many Members realise the workload of councillors.

It has been a long time for some Members, so much so that they have forgotten it.

Well said, Leader.
