I thank the Minister, the Minister of State and, in particular, the officials for the briefings. To reiterate at this late stage on the passing of Committee Stage, I can only speak for my party and myself, we hope next year will be different in terms of earlier briefings and explanatory notes being provided prior to amendments being submitted. A number of issues were raised on Committee Stage which, hopefully, we can address by this time next year.
