Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I thank Senators for the expeditious way in which they dealt with the legislation. I join in the tributes that have been paid to the staff. The Clerk of the Dáil, the Clerk of the Seanad and the other staff at every level do so much to allow us to carry out our business in an efficient way and it is appropriate at this time for us to thank them for this and enact this legislation which will put us on a secure footing for a further three years.
