I thank the Minister for outlining the legislation to the House. I, too, pay tribute to the former Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, who held not only Deputy McEntee's current portfolio but also that of foreign affairs and trade.

Group spokespersons have eight minutes and all other Senators have five minutes, which, by my calculation, if everyone decides to take up all their time, would bring us very close to the deadline for the passing of the legislation so it does not lapse. I, therefore, ask Members to stick to the time allotted for the debate.
