I welcome the passing of the Bill and I thank the Minister of State. Less than two weeks ago we did not have one of these Bills and now we have two of them, being the Sinn Féin Bill from last week and the Government Bill of this week. This Bill supersedes and ultimately replaces most of what was in the Sinn Féin Private Members' Bill from last week. That is not to say that it was not without merit. I thank the Minister of State, his staff and all the Members for delivering this Bill before the summer. Hopefully it will give consumers greater protection and greater certainty as to how they may pursue issues when they have them.
