Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I concur with the sentiments expressed by Senator Cummins. I pay tribute to Deputy Rabbitte for his initiative and to the Minister and his staff for accommodating and facilitating the passage of the Bill so quickly. Hopefully it will be of some small comfort to the Nowlan family. There will also be other beneficiaries of the changes in legislation and we look forward to the more comprehensive Bill which will be before us in the next session.
