Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Chairperson and all of the members for the engagement today and for facilitating this pre-legislative scrutiny. It is good to have it completed before the summer recess so that we can continue the work over the summer and be in a position to introduce the Bill to the Oireachtas early in the new Dáil term. I thank the Chairperson and all of the committee for their engagement over the course of the past Dáil year on a number of occasions and in respect of a number of Bills and other matters which the committee facilitated me in expediting. I very much appreciate that. I also want to recognise that this has been a very productive year for the committee. It has had a very strong output in terms of meetings and has had some very constructive engagements. The committee has been very effective. I hope the Chairperson and all of the members get a good break over the recess. I look forward to more constructive engagement after the summer.
