Katherine Zappone (Independent)

I thank Senators for their support. I also thank the Minister for his fulsome reply. As I understand it, the Minister wishes to bring my amendment and a couple of others before the Dáil for consideration. On that basis, I am happy to withdraw the amendment. I am extremely happy and delighted to hear that he will be bringing before the Dáil an amendment providing for the statutory backdrop to the citizenship ceremony. When granted citizenship in 1995, I went through the type of ceremony described by the Minister. It would have been wonderful to have had the opportunity to attend the type of ceremony which the Minister is putting in place. I am glad to hear that this will be provided for in the Bill.
