I will be brief as well. I wish to express my support for this legislation. It is important that the status quo is maintained and that we enjoy equal rights between Irish people and UK citizens. I compliment the Minister on the way she has presented today in a clear and open fashion to the committee. When does the Minister envisage that the Bill will come before the House? Will it be in the coming weeks? When does she expect that to happen?
