Derek McDowell (Labour)

In any event, until I introduce the Second Stage debate of the new Bill in this House, I wish to thank all the Members of this House who assiduously contributed to the passage of the present Bill through both Houses. I also wish, unprompted, to pay tribute to the officials in my Department who have worked on both projects and who are engaged in bringing about real, genuine and radical change in a manner in which the media probably are hardly interested. However, it is for Ireland's betterment.
