As I said, everyone had an opportunity. It is very important legislation. I also thank Deputy Niamh Smyth, chairperson of the committee. I forget the number of organisations we met within the course of pre-legislative scrutiny. The committee, with the full support of Deputy Niamh Smyth, felt that every organisation that wanted to meet with it should have the opportunity to do so. That allowed us to inform our views and the recommendations we put forward. More than 90% of what we proposed is encompassed in the legislation. It will do a lot of good. I thank the Minister again.
