We will support him because we are at one on that issue.

This is a suitable way to remember the historic events we will commemorate next year in that we are removing stigma from children and promoting the rights of natural mothers and fathers. We do cherish all the children of the national equally and protect their civil rights. If we have had advice which was very hard to bear from another troika, the Bill prepared by the troika here today is one we all support and wish well. I plead with the Minister to do the best he can to progress it through the Dáil because this is an important day, as Senators on his side of the House have said. I congratulate again the three promoting Senators and their advisers.

We replied from our office to vast amounts of e-mails and correspondence and all the people involved said they supported the Bill. This is a great day for this House.
