Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Ceann Comhairle) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister and her officials, the members of the Opposition and all those who have contributed to this very important legislation. I congratulate the Minister on having, after a long gestation period, brought it to final fruition. It is very disappointing she is speaking to a Chamber that is largely empty. One wonders why there are not more Members present for something which is of such fundamental importance, but the Minister and I and others have no control over that. Thank you all and congratulations to everyone involved.
