It should be normal and boringly predictable and safe. There should not be too much excitement. I thank everybody for their contributions and I will undertake to expedite this legislation through the Dáil. I will use all my influence in trying to ensure this happens so we can protect our children in future. I agree that some history has been made today, as the legislation will be on the Statute Book for many years to come as another one of the public health policies that made a difference. I look forward to the Seanad's support with regard to standardised packaging of cigarettes.

I believe if standardised packaging is introduced it will result in no smoking anymore because young people just will not take it up. If we can stop our children taking up smoking then it will die out as a habit over the next generation. I again thank Members and commend the Bill to the House.
