Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

I hope that I am speaking for everybody here when I say that we are very grateful to the Minister for his response. The indications received from all sides of the House and the confidence that we place in him, his officials and his Department, in the context of this amendment and wider section, should stiffen his resolve around the Cabinet table to ensure that he proceeds with the section. It might also lead to him absorbing the other legislation into this Bill in order to diminish, and hopefully eliminate, any ambiguity in the area.
