Denis O'Donovan: I welcome the Minister to the House and I also welcome the Bill. I compliment the Minister on introducing the legislation in the Seanad on Second Stage.

I concur with my colleague, Senator Bacik, that...

Denis O'Donovan: Seldom will a piece of legislation come before the House that will have so much support and lack of objection from the Fianna Fáil benches, either technically, politically or otherwise.
