Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

The Bill was initiated in the Seanad, as you pointed out, a Chathaoirligh, and clearly the Minister has been listening to a number of points raised by the Opposition in the Dáil and, indeed, by ourselves. He obviously did not listen to all of them since they are not all reflected in the amendments, but I welcome the level of flexibility shown by the Minister and thank him for it.
