As I spoke on earlier Stages of this legislation, I will not prolong this afternoon's debate. I echo the words of thanks to the Minister, to the former Deputy, Clare Daly, MEP, to my colleague, Senator Mac Lochlainn, and to others who have been deeply involved in this work for some considerable time. Without seeking in any way to oversimplify it, this legislation is about helping people. It is about having sympathy and care and doing the right thing. That is why the Bill has garnered universal support in this Chamber and elsewhere. As colleagues have said, the practical outworking of this legislation can make a practical and tangible difference when people are going through difficult and traumatic circumstances.
