I thank Senators for their interest, co-operation and efficiency in allowing us to bring this important Bill through the House. Maritime legislation is very complicated and difficult to get one's head around when one is not dealing with it every day. I am confident, however, between our deliberations here and subsequently in the Dáil, that we will emerge with an improved Bill which provides for a much better system of registration, one that is fit for purpose into the future. I will be back in the Seanad after the elections to deal with the remaining Stages of the State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill 2014, when I look forward to engaging once again with Senators.
