I hope I did not inconvenience the Seanad too much. The campus is a great achievement and a great reflection on all of the political parties that have been involved in the development. This multicampus approach will be the forerunner for many such schools. It comprises children of approximately 60 nationalities.

One reason for the delay was the blessings and thoughts from no fewer than five religious bodies plus the Humanist Association of Ireland. Due to the plurality and inclusivity of the event and the fact that three buildings needed to be opened, it took longer than anticipated. Indeed, it was one of the longest opening ceremonies, but it is a great credit to the community, children and teachers.

I do not propose to accept this amendment. I am informed by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel that the Bill's current name is sufficient to relate to the various amendments to the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 and the Pensions Act 1990 that are to be included in this Bill. The Senators' Committee Stage amendments will also be covered. In these circumstances, there is no need to include a reference to miscellaneous provisions in the Bill's name. The provisions to which Senator Ó Clochartaigh referred were announced in the budget and are not new by any means.
