Jim McDaid (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Senators who spoke on this Bill. I welcome the amendments to it, whether tabled by Members in the other House or by Members in this House, as they gave rise to different debates. If an amendment is tabled in the other House, people may question why a similar amendment should be tabled here, but there is a different point of view in the Seanad. I respect the views of the Senators who spoke on the Bill and tabled amendments to it. I particularly want it to be recognised that we are trying to get this legislation through the House to ensure that a new dawn can begin in this area. I appreciate the co-operation of the Opposition parties in that regard.
