Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

I do not want to delay the Minister of State but I wish to express my gratitude to him for taking this Bill through the House. At the start, I should have welcomed him to the House. I was a close working colleague of his in the last Dáil and I am delighted to see he has been promoted. He is doing an excellent job and I wish him well in dealing with a delicate and difficult portfolio. I have do doubt that he has the capacity to make his own mark on it and I am confident he will do so.
