I thank the Minister. It is always good to hear good news. I am sure it is fantastic news for all those affected by MLD. We send our sympathies to the families of those who have died of the disease.

Before we move on, I said at the start that there are 256 amendments. No doubt there probably will be more again before the Bill is passed.

Before I bring members in, I thank Ms Pamela Carter for the technical briefing that she and her officials gave to the committee last week. It was useful for all of us who attended. We look forward as a committee to try and proceed with this as quickly as possible. We are conscious that there are other issues there as well but we have agreed at a private meeting that we would try and fast-track the passage of this Bill where possible in respect of our work programme. We will meet after this meeting, I presume, to decide when we will bring the Minister in again next.

Deputy Cullinane wanted to say something.
