I thank the Minister of State and Members for their contributions to the debate, which was worthwhile. The debate brings to mind the value of both Houses and the Presidency because legislation was considered and sifted. It highlighted the worth of our institutions of State. Even with the best will in the world in both Houses, a hiatus can occur from time to time.

I strongly support the repayment of moneys to those why were unjustly charged and I hope the people who garner the money are entitled to it and that those who are unworthy do not come out of the woodwork to claim money. They are the exception, not the rule but they exist and I have encountered a number of them. I thank the Minister of State, the Department and the Tánaiste, who has charted her ship through difficult waters.
