John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

We have enhanced the Bill to a considerable extent. Having to come back here with 83 amendments sounds an enormous task, but that was because of the spirit of co-operation. It is somewhat unusual to have so many of our own amendments, but that was to try and accommodate people, as far as possible. The Bill we have passed here today has improved as a result of those changes.
