Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I compliment the Minister and his officials on introducing the Bill. As I indicated on Second Stage, Deputy Timmins introduced similar legislation in the other House. Most of the Fine Gael Party Bill is included in the legislation before us. The Oslo process has been lengthy and the Government and its officials have done Ireland proud. I extend best wishes to the Minister and his officials who will travel to Oslo next week to ratify and sign the convention.
