I just want to say well done to the Minister. He worked very hard on this and took it very seriously. We did not agree on a few things but his engagement and communication with us was appreciated. I again thank him and his officials. I also thank all the campaigners who worked extremely hard on this and are very passionate about this Bill. I mentioned them earlier but I would refer again to Ber Grogan from Mental Health Reform, Professor Eilionóir Flynn, Fiona Walsh, who is extremely passionate and has spoken about her own lived experience, Dr. Fiona Morrissey and many more who have been in contact with our office and who worked extremely hard on this Bill. I am glad it has passed. I again thank the Minister and his Department for all the work on this area.
