This may well be my last opportunity to thank all of the Deputies who have been involved in critiquing and supporting different Bills dealing with public transport and road traffic law. I acknowledge the contributions of Deputies Timmy Dooley and Dessie Ellis in working with me and holding me to account in the time I have been in office. As they are aware, we made great progress last year in reducing the number of people who died on the roads, although it was still too many. Much of this is due to the progress we have made in improving road traffic law and the bipartisan approach Opposition Members have adopted, for which I thank them. I wish them the best of luck in the coming weeks.

I also acknowledge the work of the officials and their great contribution to this legislation and other Bills I have brought to the House.
