Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Senators for raising a number of pertinent questions concerning the details of the Bill. I also thank them for their co-operation in facilitating the passage of the Bill through the House. I am particularly pleased that I can relay to my colleague, the Minister for Finance, the general support among Members for the Bill.

We all appreciate that life assurance is a technical subject. The Minister has attempted to produce a Bill which manages to deal with the complex issue of unclaimed life assurance policies in a relatively straightforward manner.
