I remind the Minister of State that the Magill book made him Deputy of the year some years ago, which led to his elevation to a ministry. I wish him well in the future.

I thank Senator White, who might even run for the Dáil and become a Deputy, given the interest she has. It is very refreshing to see somebody who is prepared to prepare a Bill, bring it before the House and have it discussed. This is a great day for Senator White. It is on the record of this House that she put her thoughts together, brought forward a Bill and provided this opportunity. I do not think the Senator will press it to a vote. It would be worthwhile to allow this to be discussed again and worked through as the issue is evolving as we go along. Well done to her. I also thank the Minister and the Minister of State for attending.
