Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy John Browne, and his officials. I thank Senator Kenneally for his remarks. We are agreeable people. My party is very supportive of the Bill because it regards it as a unique example of North-South co-operation which will be of benefit to both parts of the island. The all-Ireland market will be of benefit and the economies of scale which should apply will assist both sides. For those reasons, and all those I am sure my colleague, Senator Finucane, spelled out on Second Stage, I am happy to see the Bill pass.
