5:25 pm

I welcome the Bill, which, as we noted on Second Stage, addresses many issues. I welcome the work that the Minister and his officials have done, and his engagement not only here in the House but between the Stages. As a final question, I was asked by some of the migrant workers to ask whether the Minister has any idea of the commencement date of the legislation, as I realise part of the commencement must be done by the Minister for Justice and Equality. This would allow us to know when the really great day is. Obviously, today is an important day in that we are passing the Bill, but its greater importance is when it actually affects workers.
