Ba mhaith liom moladh go nglacfar leis an mBille agus buíochas a ghlacadh leis na Teachtaí a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht. Tuigim go bhfuil malairt tuairime faoin mBille ach, agus é sin ráite, agus é ag dul tríd an dá Theach, bhí díospóireacht thar a bheith foirfe, ciallmhar agus iomlán ann. Tá lúcháir orm gur éirigh linn an Bille seo a chur tríd gan deifir agus gan aon srian ar an bplé a rinne muid. Tá súil agam gur fearr é dá bharr. Glacaim buíochas leis na Teachtaí a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht agus a chaith go leor ama léi ag cur síos na leasuithe agus ag dul tríd go dian. Glacaim buíochas faoi leith freisin leis na hoifigigh sa Roinn atá ag obair air seo le tamall agus a thug an oiread sin comhairle agus cúnaimh dom agus an Bille seo ag dul tríd.

I thank the Deputies sincerely for their significant input to the Bill. I fully accept that Opposition Deputies do not have the same access to resources. We may not agree on the fundamentals of the Bill but time will tell whether we are right or wrong. The debate was very good and complete. I am happy the Bill was not guillotined. I will ensure the undertakings given during the debate on the operations of the dormant accounts board under the new remit will be fair and equitable and hopefully will achieve the purposes which we all desire.
