If I might make a closing remark, I thank the Ceann Comhairle for facilitating the Bill in being reported back from the Seanad. This has been an example of the Houses working well, given there were some significant amendments from the Seanad. I very much welcome and appreciate Senators' contributions to the legislation. It is very wide ranging in its implications and will have significant benefits for local communities, road safety, insurance and so on. I could not list the full extent of the provisions in the Bill.

Finally, I commend our civil servants within the Department, who have done a very important job of public service. I thank them and those in both the Bills Office and the Office of the Attorney General for their eagle eyes. This is complex legislation, but I think we have delivered something substantial. It is important in the history of our transport legislation and, more than anything else, I thank the officials for delivering it.
