I, too, intend to bring amendments on Report Stage. At this late hour, I thank the Cathaoirleach and the officials for facilitating the committee. I also thank the Minister for his attendance here.

There are other engagements the Minister missed as a result of being here and he did not have substitutes. That is very important in legislation like this. The Minister has taken it right through. I also thank his officials from all of the different sections. There are obviously sections in this Bill I do not agree with. We have had a robust debate at times but I appreciate the efforts of the Department officials and indeed the Revenue officials in drafting the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023. They put their time and effort into all the sections of the legislation. As I said, there were some very challenging new pieces of legislation as well. I appreciate all of that.
