Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I congratulate the Minister and his officials on this legislation. I appreciate the Minister's responsive attitude to the comments and suggestions that were made and his grasp of the detail of this Bill.

A friend of mine was killed over 20 years ago in the Buttevant train crash. He travelled by rail to Cork because he thought he would be safer on the train than on the road. It is when one has such a personal contact with the issue that one is reminded of the responsibility we have in this matter. I congratulate the Minister.
