I would like to join Senators in heaping plaudits on Senator Quinn. He has shown us a fine example of how the Seanad can work. He mentioned that 1,168 days have passed since he introduced this Bill. We certainly hope the subcontractors will be paid much more quickly as a result of this legislation. Many of them may have been waiting for the length of time he mentioned. I congratulate Senator Quinn on bringing the Bill to this House and pursuing it through the Dáil. I thank him for that on behalf of the Independent group.
