I thank the Senators for their contributions this evening and, indeed, during the debate on the Bill. As I said earlier, there is no such thing as perfect legislation. We were always keen to try to improve the Bill and where we thought amendments were coming forward that would improve it, we took them on board.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. It is always as important to listen as it is to speak. In fairness to the Members on all sides, they dealt with it constructively. There were many good points made and we are happy we could take them on board. It will be reflected in the Bill. We are bringing a better Bill before the Dáil and I thank the Members here for making that possible.
