I thank the Department for everything and thank the Minister for her own good work on the legislation. Obviously, when she took on the role as Minister for Justice she recognised, as we all recognise, the lacuna in services in this regard and she is trying to do something about it. Credit is due to the Minister and her team for the work that they are putting into it. It is not really something to be scoring political points on. I credit them all for the work they are doing and the support that will follow when we can see that there is good progressive legislation going through, notwithstanding some of the concerns that have been expressed. It is our duty to put them to the Minister. When we have brought up particular points, she has responded in kind. We will support her on that.
