Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister to the House. It has been made clear that Fine Gael supports this legislation. We believe it to be in the national interest. I caution, however, against the euphoria and self-congratulation which comes from some members of the other side of the House. This is by no means the end of the game but rather the beginning of an entirely new set of circumstances, the outcome of which is uncertain.
