I would like to make a few general comments before referring to the amendments. I believe this is the final time Deputy Leo Varadkar will be present as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. I will be sorry because while I may not agree with any of his policies, the way in which he conducts himself and the competence of the Department and his handling of it has been impressive. From that point of view, I will be sorry to see him lose the brief.
