Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Senators. Senator Bacik mentioned the officials; Mr. David Brennan, who is with me today, has worked on this legislation for eight years. There is much unseen work that goes on in Departments in the preparation of legislation. Ms Mary O'Sullivan has joined Mr. Brennan in more recent years. It has been a long passage for this legislation, so I thank Senators for making sure it will pass through the Houses of the Oireachtas today.
