Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Members not just for their support but for their co-operation in facilitating the enactment of this measure. I appreciate the contributions of Members. I thank the Ceann Comhairle because I am conscious the House is sitting on a Friday, which is not always the case, but I think we might have more Friday and Monday sittings over the coming weeks. It was important that this measure complete its passage so that it can be enacted before both Houses go on vacation for the summer period. I thank Members for their assistance and co-operation in this regard.
