I accept that. I met people from the car rental sector last week. In the Seanad, we passed the entire Committee Stage, including 79 amendments, of the Judicial Council Bill in one night. That will hopefully move us some way towards achieving something. Other Bills have taken much longer in the Seanad but this one was all done in a single session. We extended sitting times on a Tuesday night and there were only two votes on 79 amendments. The legislation passed Committee Stage and only Report and Final Stages remain to be completed. It will then go to the Dáil. I hope its passage through the Lower House will be as quick and that something can be delivered.
