Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I thank Senator Henry for sharing her time with me. Listening to the Senator speaking reminds me of what a valuable asset it is to have such a variety of expertise among Members of this House. I will not attempt to touch on topics from that point of view. It is very interesting to think that this Bill amends legislation dating from 1956. I actually had a look at the 1956 Act, which was interesting. I know the Minister has experience of dealing with older Acts – I think he was involved in producing the Education Act 1998, which amended legislation dating back to 1831. Therefore, this is an easier Bill with which to deal in those terms.
