Batt O'Keeffe (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

On behalf of the Minister and myself, I thank those who co-operated with and participated in the debate. It is great to see a Bill that was initiated in 2005 being brought to fruition. I thank the staff of the Oireachtas for their hard work, and the Parliamentary Counsel and my own staff in the Department for their excellent work. I hope the Bill will pass all Stages in the Seanad soon.
