Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."

I am very pleased to bring the Criminal Justice (Psychoactive Substances) Bill 2010 to this House. I appreciate the co-operation of the House in agreeing to take this Bill at relatively short notice. I thank the Opposition for its understanding in this respect. I congratulate Deputy Shatter on his promotion to the position of spokesperson on justice. I am looking forward to having the same level of co-operation with him as I had with Deputy Flanagan.
