Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghlacadh leis na Seanadóirí ar dhá thaobh den Teach as ucht na páirte a ghlac siad sa díospóireacht cheana féin. Bhí díospóireacht bhríomhar ann agus rinneadh leasuithe cuimsitheacha ar an mBille anseo. I remember having a detailed debate when we commenced Committee Stage of the Bill but we ran out of time. Senator Ryan justly asked me if I would recommit the Bill after the summer and I agreed to do so. We had a good debate here and made some amendments that improve on the Bill's original form. I hope we have set about allaying the fears of the Opposition concerning what is intended by the Bill. I thank Senators from both sides of the House for engaging in the debate and for proving once again that the Seanad has a significant role——
