Noel Coonan (Fine Gael)

I thank the Chair for that. There is something else I could say to him but I will refrain from saying it.

I would be interested to hear the Minister's comments on that aspect of her visit to Russia.

I thank all those involved in preparing the Bill, especially for the amount of discussion conducted with the various representatives of the veterinary profession such as the Veterinary Council. They have made a wonderful contribution. It shows that when everyone works together the community benefits as the farming and veterinary communities will from this Bill.
