James Bannon (Fine Gael)

Like Senator Quinn, I am disappointed that the Bill has been guillotined. Everyone's point of view should be taken into consideration, but it is unfortunate that the Leader did not supply enough time for the discussion. I had a number of valid points, but I will make them at a later stage. The Minister has assured the House that the Bill will not impact on anyone's livelihood, which is an important matter. I hope the Minister sees through his commitment that everyone will get a fair deal and no one will lose his or her livelihood. I thank the Minister and his officials for taking the Bill in the House this afternoon.
