I also welcome the Minister to the Seanad. She is a person and politician I greatly admire and I thank her for her commitment and time in attending this important debate.

I second our motion and support my colleague's proposal. As I said on the Order of Business today, I am somewhat dismayed by the length and verbosity of the Government amendment, particularly as it does not address some of the issues and concerns raised in our motion. I likened the amendment to Finnegan's Wake in that it is almost as long and not easily understood.
