I concur with the Minister and commend Senator Ruane on bringing forward this legislation that will impact on people's lives. We are in this House to improve them. I am convinced that the Bill, when enacted, will make a huge difference to the lives of citizens. I followed the debate on Committee Stage. To be fair to the Minister, he is working with Senator Ruane because he understands her objective, which is a common objective for all of us. The further dialogue that will take place with officials before Report Stage to fine-tune and improve the Bill will be important. Senator Ruane has done a fantastic job and I look forward to the Bill being passed and signed into law when it will make a difference to people's lives.
