I thank Members for their welcome. Obviously there have been political changes since the last time this legislation was discussed here by the then Minister, Deputy Fitzgerald, and I have been asked to take today's debate. As Senators Bacik and Conway said, I chaired a committee which produced a report on this issue. I will not say it is coming back to haunt me, as good and serious work was done there.
