I thank the Senators very much. Important amendments were agreed in this House and these have added to and improved the Bill. It proves the purpose, worth and benefit of having this Chamber to improve our legislation. I thank my officials for the excellent work they have done. The Bill has had a long and slow progress, interrupted by the Covid pandemic. The timelines were difficult but I am very glad the Bill has passed in the Seanad. There is one last hurdle. We have to go back to the Dáil to get agreement to some of the amendments agreed to here. Subject to that, I look forward to this Bill being enacted and whole variety of different and very consequential measures being put into effect. I thank the Acting Chairperson and I thank the Senators for their contribution to this Bill.
