I join colleagues in thanking everyone involved, including Senators Mark Daly and Lorraine Clifford-Lee, the members of the deaf community and those who have lobbied over the years. I thank the Members who have worked very hard on this important Bill as well as the Minister of State and his departmental officials for getting involved to make it possible to bring forward what is implementable. That concludes the Bill in the Seanad and it will now go to the Dáil in what is, hopefully, a timely manner.
