I will not repeat everything that has been said. I commend the Minister of State on the work she has done on this issue and also my colleague, Senator Reilly, on his work in this area. I have always supported this measure. For almost a quarter of a millennium, the RCSI has been a leader in the field of medical education. Through all of that time, it has been a leader rather than a follower. I always felt it was bizarre that, while it could call itself a university abroad, it could not call itself a university here. I commend the Minister of State and fully support the Bill and amendment. It is worthwhile supporting the RCSI and the wonderful work it does. I hope the Bill will advance swiftly and get support from everybody.
