Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Browne, and the former Minister of State, now Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Gallagher, for their co-operation in getting the Bill through the House so rapidly. I thank their officials and everyone who contributed on Second Stage yesterday. I thank Senator McHugh in particular for his co-operation on the issue. This is important legislation and somewhat unique in that it is going through here and in the Houses of Parliament across the water at more or less the same time. I thank all those who have helped ensure it goes through speedily.
