I congratulate Deputies Clare Daly and Wallace and acknowledge the great work they did at the committee. They knuckled down and produced amendments. They are genuinely interested in reform of the Judiciary. That is what Committee Stage is for and it did take a long time to complete. I have no quarrel with this because of the thorough and forensic way in which they addressed the Bill. I might not agree with all of their amendments, but I accept, as I am sure they do, that it will be the Dáil which will give its verdict on what has come back from the committee when the amendments are voted on. If Deputy Clare Daly believes there has been a reluctance to accept her good work, she should not do so. She did tremendous work, as did Deputy Wallace and all other members of the committee.
