Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

I did not believe we would be finished as expeditiously as this. I thank the Minister, Deputy Noel Dempsey, and the Minister of State, Deputy John Browne, for their attendance on Second and Subsequent Stages. I also thank the officials for the help and support they gave us during the passage of this Bill.

Speakers on all sides were in general agreement with the contents of the Bill on Second Stage, so perhaps it is not a huge surprise that no amendments were tabled on Committee Stage. I am glad we have been able to get this legislation out of the way. Again, I thank everybody involved and the Opposition spokespersons for their co-operation in the passage of the Bill.
