I am not on the committee but have been following aspects of the Bill. I have soldiered on many campaigns with the Minister so I was not surprised to hear the positive feedback on how responsive and engaging she was. It is a hallmark of her style. I do not want to embarrass her, but that is true. Much time, engagement, listening and practical suggestions have come through this long arduous process. It is a tribute to the Minister to hear her colleagues and those directly involved in the Bill talk about it. I heard Members of both Houses talk of her commitment to lead on this and bring her own unique style and that of her officials to it. I agree with Senator Carrigy that this is very important legislation. I join members of the committee and of the Seanad in wishing the Minister well and congratulating her on the journey she and her officials have taken with this legislation. Well done.
