Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Sean Fleming, to the House. When is it proposed to take Fifth Stage? I thank the Seanad for dealing with this legislation in an expeditious manner both last week on Second Stage and in the debate today.

There was cross-party agreement at all Stages resulting in no requirement for amendments from either the Opposition or Government side. I thank the Minister of State for his clear explanation of the Bill from start to finish and that has helped to bring everybody together. The Bill is a very clear piece of legislation and I thank the Minister of State.
