Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Chathaoirleach agus ba mhaith liom tréaslú leis an méid a bhí le rá aige agus ag comhghleacaithe eile faoin iarSheanadóir Pádraig Ó Céidigh mar tá ardmholadh tuillte aige. Is cuimhin liom an chaint ar an mBille seo in 2018 nuair a phléamar é sa Seanad an uair dheireanach agus dúirt mé gur éacht a bhí ann nuair a bhí duine in ann tús a chur le reachtaíocht cosúil leis seo. Ach is éacht ar leith atá i gceist é nuair a bhíonn duine in ann é a chur go hiomlán tríd an Oireachtas. Tá súil agam gurb é sin an pointe ina bhfuilimid inniu. I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I echo the remarks made by other colleagues on the work of the former Senator, Pádraig Ó Céidigh, who initiated this Bill in the last Seanad. I welcome the Government's support and the cross-party support in both Houses because this is important legislation in terms of what it seeks to achieve. I spoke extensively as the Bill passed through the Seanad the last time.
