I also welcome the passage of the Bill and compliment the Minister, his staff and all involved in negotiating the Cape Town Convention and Protocol. As I said on Second Stage, it is important to maintain low-fare business in Ireland because it is vital in ensuring the growth and development of our tourism industry. A number of flights announced by Ryanair in the past are commencing from Shannon Airport today, which is a welcome decision. We must also recognise the tremendous work done by the Department and others in ensuring the registry is based in Ireland. As the Minister said, this is extremely prestigious.

I do not agree with Senator Ryan on too many occasions——
