The part of the Bill that deals with powers is really important. At times, the Oireachtas has been guilty of passing Bills that have no teeth. I think this Bill will be very effective but for it to be so, those Garda powers are absolutely essential. The Bill has the potential to transform how one buys tickets and to prevent people from becoming captives of ticket touts. I compliment Deputy Quinlivan on putting a lot of thought into the Bill. It is well constructed and deserves good support across the board.
