Next Tuesday. I wish to thank the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, and her officials for all the work that has gone into this. I spoke on this Bill on Second Stage in February in the presence of the current Taoiseach, who was covering for the Minister in the Department of Justice. I also thank him, but especially the Minister, for all the work. I also thank all the Senators who contributed a lot more to this afternoon's debate than I did. I was listening intently and learned a lot. I am not a practitioner in the courts but they are and they bring that very helpful expertise. I thank everyone. As Senator McDowell alluded to a number of times, this Bill is dated 2022. I will not delay it any further than the 30 seconds for which I have spoken now.
