I welcome the Minister to the House. On this occasion, I am going to have the pleasure of agreeing with him again about the Bill. He sometimes complains that I do not agree with him enough. One of the things about Laois people is that we disagree in the most intellectually fertile way.

This is a very welcome Bill which has been a long time coming. To my good friend and colleague, Senator Martin Conway, I have to say that of course Nora Owen introduced the legislation but she did so only after the death of Veronica Guerin.
