Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I add my congratulations to the officials and to the Minister and echo the words of Senator Henry regarding the manner in which the Minister dealt with this Bill. It had a long gestation but nothing seemed to be happening until the Minister took hold of it. I reiterate that she dealt with the Bill in a logical, rational and moderate manner. I did not use the phrase, "pleasant smile" but I could have done so. I assure the Minister it is a powerful weapon to ensure amendments are withdrawn.
