I welcome the Minister of State back to the House this afternoon for the debate on this very important legislation. As others have mentioned, it is a very short but nevertheless very important Bill. I am delighted to see it moving forward. I compliment my colleague Senator Ward on his work in this area. He has been very vocal on this. He alluded to the retrospective aspect in section 4, which is a very welcome development.

I will not delay matters. I very much welcome the Bill. The Fianna Fáil Party is delighted to see this legislation come through.
