Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I compliment Senator Quinn on all the work he has put into this Bill, as well as those who assisted him, especially in the Department of Finance. I regret that Senator O'Toole is bowing out because he has made some very pertinent and relevant points, not just in regard to this Bill but also on greenfield legislation and the value of the Seanad. It is a pity he is retiring from the House because he has huge experience and a lot more to contribute. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, for the interest he has taken in this legislation. I look forward to him suitably briefing his successor because this important legislation has to go further. Well done all around.
