I welcome the fact the Minister has taken on board many of the points made on Committee Stage, particularly regarding the amendments we put forward. I note the increase in the fines and I welcome the fact she has taken on board the principle we put forward of the decriminalisation of the women who sell sexual services. Accordingly, I will not be pressing amendments Nos. 29 to 31, inclusive. I hope we get through this legislation speedily and have it passed.
