I congratulate the our colleague, the Deputy Leader, Senator Doherty, and the Minister for the very positive approach she has taken to the Bill. I commend our colleagues in the Gallery as well. The world has really changed. It is shocking. Spiking never existed when I was a young person. I have three young adults at home now and I have a party colleague who was a recent victim of spiking, so I know first-hand how horrific it is. This is a very valuable piece of legislation and it can make a real difference. I agree with the last speaker on the importance of promoting this whole area because it is one of such concern. The Minister has Sinn Féin's congratulations and our full support. I am sure she will have the same in the Dáil. I urge the swift passage of this Bill to its full completion.
