As consideration of the Bill has been completed, in accordance with Standing Order 101, the following message will be sent to the Clerk of the Dáil:

The Select Committee on Justice has completed its consideration of the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022, has made amendments thereto and has amended the Title.

Before I invite the Minister to make some closing remarks, I point out that we have seen in the course of this exercise that there is legislation from 1861, 1875, 1925 and up to the present day, which goes to show that legislation we pass in this House can remain on the Statute Book for some time, probably long after we are all gone. It is important we get it right, and I think we do that in this committee and in these Houses. The legislation might last not just weeks or months but rather centuries.
