I also wish to record my appreciation. The Minister of State will recall I tabled two amendments on Committee Stage. One concerned the establishment of the board and the other concerned limiting to 10% or less the amount of moneys generated to be spent on administration. While I considered tabling them again on Report Stage, I consulted the bodies that had briefed me and they expressed their satisfaction with the clear and specific reassurances provided by the Minister of State. Consequently, I thought it would be futile and a waste of the House's time to table them again. I am grateful the Minister of State acted in such a co-operative spirit.
