I have proposed that and I have indicated what all those measures will be. I want to thank Deputies for the time and effort that has been expended over the last three days to scrutinise this Bill. I thank the officials of the committee and my officials for supporting us in our efforts. I want to acknowledge one official in particular, Rory O'Kelly. Rory is the engine of getting the Finance Bill arranged, implemented and done every year. He is the member of our team who is frequently seen with multiple binders and a large case that contains all of those binders. Rory has supported many Ministers in passing over 20 Finance Bills and he is getting ready to move on to new pastures. Before he does that I want to thank him for his tireless service and huge work at busy moments in the legislative year. I thank Rory for all his effort in supporting many Ministers and this committee in its work since 2006. I wish him good health and every success in the next phase of his life. I wanted to recognise that.
