I, too, congratulate the Minister of State and wish to express my satisfaction that this legislation has completed its passage through the Dáil and Seanad. Obviously, it does not contain everything I would have liked, but it is welcome legislation which will assist us in addressing an important issue. I note the Minister of State's earlier comment that this Bill is but part of a wider set of measures with which we will tackle the evil of human trafficking in our midst. It will assist us in complying with our international obligations. Hopefully, we will see an approach which unites this legislative measure with good policy in tackling those who would traffic persons into our country and assists us in providing as best we can for the needs of victims of human trafficking. I thank the Minister of State for his patience and a robust debate. I hope this legislation will bring about good for some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
