Martin Mansergh (Tipperary South, Fianna Fail)

I thank all Senators who contributed to this debate for their broad support for the Bill and for its speedy passage. Before I address the points, I compliment Senator Paschal Donohoe, Senator Alex White and Senator Dan Boyle on their participation in the recent elections, two of them in by-elections and one in the European elections. I firmly expect the two Senators to be elected to the Lower House in due course and I am sure they will make as good a contribution in that Chamber as they do here.
