Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister, Deputy Martin, and the Ministers of State, Deputies Callely and O'Malley, for their co-operation and assistance. In particular I commend the Minister on his Trojan work in this whole area. He met many areas of resistance but he took them on the chin and forged ahead. I thank the Opposition — the Fine Gael Party, the Labour Party and the Independent group — for their co-operation in this Chamber. That consensus approach is a testament to the importance of this matter to all Members of both Houses. I wish the legislation well and I am sure that generations to come will approve of the action taken in this House today.
