I thank the Minister and everyone else who contributed here. The viability of Shannon Airport and the merger that is taking place is very important. I am disappointed that we did not have a separate Bill to deal with pensions, as that issue is far too important and extensive and has huge implications not just now but into the future for many families who are in receipt of pensions and whose pensions are deferred. Overall, there are some good aspects of the Bill and I wish the Minister all the best in case he is not around to see it through to the end.
