I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for the speediness with which he led us through the 86 sections in the Bill. I congratulate the Minister of State for getting the Bill through as speedily as he did, particularly in this House. I understand it proceeded relatively speedily through the other House and we certainly have dealt with it very speedily last week and this week. It is 11 or 12 years since the legislation was supposed to have been introduced. We certainly are not responsible for delaying it now. I congratulate the Minister of State and his Department on getting it over the line. Well done to him.
