On behalf of Sinn Féin, I commend Senator Daly. I understand the Minister of State is supportive and Sinn Féin is also proud to support the legislation. I was reading a contribution by Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin in the Dáil on 10 November 2016 about the report of the committee on justice and equality. He mentioned, as Senator Norris did now, the interpreters who were present in that Chamber. It was a first for that Chamber but having an interpreter has been normalised for me in these debates. I welcome them and I welcome everyone in the Gallery. Sinn Féin will support amendments Nos. 1, 3 to 6, inclusive, and 8.
