This is a success story in rural Ireland where there are jobs. I thank everybody in this House, particularly the leaders of the parties, the agricultural spokespersons, the members of the committee, everybody who has helped and the stakeholders ranging from the IFA to the other groups that made submissions month after month. I also sincerely thank the officials for their work on this Bill which has brought forestry into the modern era and put it on a sound footing and we can see the industry progressing into the future. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and all those people involved.
