Before I call on Senator Bacik to respond, I will ask Senator McDowell to take over the Chair for this final amendment. This is to be his first day in the Chair. Given that the Senator has served as Attorney General and as Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, he is slightly more qualified for the role than I am. I am sure he will do an excellent job. He will be responsible for reading out the final part of this Bill and taking what could be Senator Bacik's last speech. We hope that will be the case but we are not too sure. We will miss her if she leaves so we might also hope that she stays.
