It will be lovely. I compliment the Minister. It has been said a number of times that it is common sense but in spite of that it can happen that nobody introduces a good common sense Bill in the way Deputy Alan Kelly has done. I look forward to the speedy passage of the Bill. I hope to see more such Bills founded in common sense that will assist the expansion of the tourism industry outside the main urban areas and build up that sense of place and sense of taste to which I referred. I also compliment the Minister's staff who have assisted the Bill. I say well done to all involved. Let us get the Bill passed and the legislation signed by the President so that tourists can enjoy the taste of the ale, beer or cider that is brewed in the microbreweries.
