I welcome the passing of this Bill through the Dáil today. As the Minister said, this has been 20 years in gestation. It is a sign of the efficiency of this Chamber that we managed to pass it in only one hour and 55 minutes. This legislation will benefit both the public and the Judiciary, and it is a sign that we, as an Oireachtas, are prepared to recognise the need to invest more State resources in the third arm of government, the Judiciary, which has been neglected for too long.
