I thank the Minister for accepting Deputy Quinn's amendments, tidying-up amendments which arose from Committee Stage proceedings. The Bill is largely technical and the Opposition is glad to facilitate the Minister and the Department in putting through the amendments. The fact the Bill goes back to 1999 is a clear indication it was not urgent at that time but it has become more urgent since then. The Minister explained the urgency of the Bill on Committee Stage and a speedy passage of Report Stage will be facilitated by the Opposition.
