Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

As Government spokesperson on the environment, heritage and local government, I thank the Minister of State on behalf of the Government side of the House. The job has been very well done. It is a flagship Bill and I have no doubt it will serve communities throughout the country well in the future.

The passage of the Bill through this House initially was one of the better events that have happened in the House since I became a Member. It received strong scrutiny and set the stage for what ultimately took place tonight. Society in general will be better served by the passing of this Bill.
