I invite Senator Malcolm Byrne for a very brief comment because we have had a long discussion on this.

I will outline my own connection with it in a minute.

It is fair to say that there are not too many people in the Chamber who have as close a connection to the HEA as Senator Malcolm Byrne. My mother was a member of the HEA in the 1990s, so I have a bit of knowledge. I have some involvement, with my parents involved in UCD. Many of us know about higher education in different ways, including Senator Ruane, who was president of the students' union in her day.

While Senator Boyhan's point is very well made, these are just brief concluding comments.

Maybe even the Bills Office as well.

It was passed unanimously; there was no opposition to the Bill being passed.

I do not think Senator Dolan was here for the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017.

I thank the Minister and I thank Senators for their co-operation in the passing of the Bill.

I am covering this matter for Senator Dooley, who is the Fianna Fáil spokesperson on this issue. I am not as familiar with the area as Senator Craughwell or some other Members are but I have been a member of the transport committee for the past year and am somewhat familiar with some of the concerns of Senator Craughwell.

It is great to have three of MEPs here. It is a pity that all of the four of them could not be here, but we thank those who are here for being here. Ms Fitzgerald is a former Senator. Mr. Andrews is a former councillor in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and was a Deputy there, along with Mr. Cuffe, where I represented the local authority. It is great to see them all. I thank them for the work that they are doing on behalf of all of Dublin and indeed all of Ireland. We as a country are so small in relation to the entire size…

You are reversing the reversal.

It is a limit not a target.

I am sure she is watching.

Amendments Nos. 62 to 67, inclusive, 113 and 141 are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Can we have silence in the Gallery, please.

Without interruption, please.

Amendment No. 69 is not in the grouping.

Yes.
