I acknowledge Senator Bacik's comments that we are very keen to have this legislation enacted in its entirety so that it may have early application. I do no often speak on behalf of Deputy Kelly but on his behalf I can say that he too is very keen to see this enacted in its entirety, having regard to the fact that the Bill has been the subject matter of what some might describe as a delay in the context of the very tight Dáil and Seanad schedule recently. Should Senator McDowell's point present a problem, we can reflect on how best to deal with it. In the meantime I ask Senators to conclude their duty this afternoon.
