I thank the Minister of State and his staff for the work involved. I wish the office well. We had a good Second Stage debate on this Bill. It came to the committee as well. It makes sense for expertise to be centralised in one area. Hopefully that will be the case. We have plenty of staff here. It looks like the Fine Gael Members had more vocal concerns than the rest of us today, but I wish the office well and I look forward to seeing the annual published reports of the office, how it is doing, the efficiencies it is generating and the savings it will create on behalf of the State, and to scrutinising its work in the future. I wish it well. We had a good debate on it on Tuesday and we concluded it today. I am delighted it has been passed before the summer.
