Deirdre Clune (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister and his officials for their efficiency in dealing with the Bill. I also thank the Members for their contributions. We had a most interesting debate on it last week. The Bill is an important element in supporting small businesses, particularly those that employ fewer than ten people. It is a niche area. This Bill is an important step and it will help increase confidence, particularly among those involved in the small and medium-sized enterprise sector. I wish the Bill well and look forward to its enactment.
