Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

Indeed he would. Nonetheless, I congratulate all involved. The Bill is not normal legislation where the Opposition would produce amendments on Committee and Report Stages. We gave the Bill a fair hearing and had a useful debate on Second Stage. No doubt, queries raised in respect of specific Acts were heeded and good advice was given to the specialised unit dealing with the issue over recent years. I congratulate all involved and encourage the other House to dispose of the issue before May or June is uponus.
