I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, to the House. He is a Minister of State and politician who is deeply committed to the principles of equality and has proven that in the work he did as Chairman of the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality prior to this. I commend Senators Nash and Ó Ríordáin on bringing forward what I think is very important legislation. Senator Ó Ríordáin spoke about the 1990s, which was when we sat our leaving certificate exams. I shared Belfield with Senator Nash when we were both student activists and it was quite shocking. Senator Higgins was also there. She is down there. It is amazing. It is like a UCD alma mater-----
