Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State for taking the Bill and for the manner in which she dealt with it. It is short but important legislation. I also thank the Minister of State for the way in which she dealt with some of the observations we had. It is an agreed Bill as it was originally introduced by Deputy Micheál Martin when he was the Minister for Foreign Affairs. There is no contention surrounding the Bill but I wish the Minister of State well and look forward to seeing her many times in the House to deal with foreign affairs legislation.
