I thank the four Senators for their contributions. I thank Senator Davitt for his supportive words regarding the negotiation of the budget. Some of the input I got, particularly from Deputy Cowen, was very helpful.

I give an absolute guarantee that when I and the Government collectively have knowledge of how Brexit is going to turn out - I hope we will have a clear picture by next Friday evening or Saturday - I will give instructions to pay the minimum wage and obviously, the amendments in this Bill will allow me to do so. I thank him for that.
