I add my voice to the compliments to the Minister for addressing an issue that has been ongoing for 40 years. The firefighters have been very patient to wait 40 years for the change in legislation. Once the Bill goes through, it will be from that point on that they will be able to avail of the provision. I can be corrected if I am wrong. Anyone who has applied and was turned down on that ground should reapply as soon as the Bill is through the Houses. Is that correct?
