I wish to speak on the Bill. People may not realise the Roads Bill 2014 will mean the amalgamation of the Railway Procurement Agency and the NRA. When the Government came to power, we stated we would streamline the public service and spoke about closing quangos. This will create greater efficiencies because both bodies have the same expertise in certain areas and they will be able to share this. It will be a saving to the country in many areas. We will also get a better service. I congratulate the Minister for bringing it through both Houses. I hope we will see greater efficiencies because of the Bill.
