I take this opportunity to thank everybody who assisted in the progression of the Bill through the House. It is very important legislation and I am delighted to see it passed by the Dáil. This reforming initiative reflects a commitment in the programme for Government and is a core element of the Action Plan for Jobs. I thank the Ceann Comhairle, the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and all the staff of the House for facilitating the orderly passage of the Bill. I thank my officials for their outstanding work in getting all of the necessary agreements in place. I also thank Members, particularly Deputies Dara Calleary and Peadar Tóibín, for their valuable contributions on each Stage of the debate.
