Seán Kyne (Galway West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputies for their positive engagement on the Bill. Obviously, I had not been part of it up to this. I acknowledge the work of the Ministers, Deputies Humphreys and Madigan, the officials, Brian Lucas and Niall Ó Donnchú, from the Department and others who have been involved. It is important that we have this positive engagement on what has been quite a controversial issue over a period of time. We acknowledge the positive engagement of stakeholders in trying to come to a resolution to this very important issue that affects many counties.
