I will be very brief, a Cheann Comhairle. I welcome that the Bill is going through with the amendments. We have listened to some of the groups that were concerned. Some of the sporting groups have been listened to, which is quite good. It is past time that we have legislated for this and it is great to see that it has almost come to a conclusion.

Like Deputy Mattie McGrath, we would like to know when this legislation will be enacted. It is really good news for people who want to go to events. We are all looking forward to emerging from the crisis and the pandemic we are in at the moment and getting back to sporting events. Hopefully, many people will attend these events and be able to buy tickets and not be scourged like they were before. This is really good news. I welcome the passing of the Bill on behalf of my party.
