David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputies for their constructive remarks and Deputy O'Loughlin and others for their work during the referendum itself. I also pay tribute to the officials who worked very hard on the legislation to get it to where it is today, to the Ceann Comhairle and his office and to the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Madigan, for her input at the beginning.
