Malcolm Noonan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I thank Senators Higgins, Ruane, Black and Flynn for bringing the Bill to the Seanad and to all of the Senators for their contributions.

Before I speak specifically through my notes, I will respond to some of the points raised by Senators during the debate this evening. It is useful that we have had this debate.

I would say at the outset that I value this Chamber. I am here often, as the Senators will be aware.
