I made a detailed contribution on Second Stage. I thank the Minister of State and the Minister, Deputy Noonan. The Minister of State accepted amendments from the Opposition in the other House. This is a good piece of legislation. I put the case on behalf of our group on Second Stage. I do not deem it appropriate to delay the House further. This Bill will greatly improve the transparency of credit reporting and transparency in the banking and financial services sectors. People in America are very aware of their credit scores and how to access them.

I heard that this Bill may be enacted in 2016. I ask the Minister of State to confirm the date. I ask for a commitment from the Government to provide information about how citizens may access their credit scores and how they may make changes if errors are made. I thank the Minister of State for his assistance with the passage of the Bill.
