I thank the Cathaoirleach and the committee members for their co-operation and their contribution to bringing the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill through Committee Stage. I look forward to finally returning it to the Dáil and moving on with it. This is important and significant legislation. Pay-related benefit will mean a huge difference to many people. I am delighted to be able to move on with it.

On the Supreme Court judgment in the O'Meara case, the committee will be pleased to hear that I brought a memo to the Government this morning. I have agreement to proceed to prepare the legislation, and when it is drafted to bring the legislation to the committee here. I just do not have the dates but I want to move it on and would like to have it done hopefully before the Dáil goes into recess. It is important.
