I commend our leader in the Seanad, Senator Chambers. We are proud of her and she is great for keeping going with the Bill. I commend Eve McDowell and Una Ring, as well as Dr. Catherine O'Sullivan, the academic behind the Bill. I also commend the Minister for not reinventing the wheel, for taking the baton and following through with it and not redoing Second Stage of the Bill. That shows her willingness to be proactive when others may not have been and may have started again with a new Bill. It is a great day. I thank everyone and congratulate the House and Senator Chambers on championing the Bill. Well done everyone.
