I thank the 16 Members of the House and the Cathaoirleach for their contributions to the Order of Business. I thank Senator Mark Daly for the extensive discussion yesterday. It is important we achieve the right result at the end of the process. Rather than creating a situation next week in which we will not necessarily have finality in terms of the Bill, I suggest to Senator Daly that we might take the time to let it progress. Given the extensive negotiations and discussions from all sides yesterday, there is a willingness to work together on this. I hope we can ensure an outcome that is positive for everybody. That is what we all want to achieve.

Senator Daly also referred to the summer economic statement. Listening to him brought to mind Deputy Howlin's remarks on the radio yesterday morning about public private partnerships. He said the exact same thing.
