I welcome former Senator Fidelma Healy Eames and the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, both of whom have joined us in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery.

I am conscious that we have seven minutes remaining in the debate and the Minister wants to thank Members for their participation. I understand there will be a vote at 4 p.m. The Minister may make his closing remarks either before or after the vote. There will be fewer Members present after the vote but it is up to him. We will resume at 4.30 p.m to commence the next business. The Minister may make his comments either before or after the vote, whichever suits him.
