The Deputy's time is up. I call Deputy Roderic O'Gorman.

Before I call Deputy Rice, I welcome our visitors in the Visitors Gallery. I give a special welcome to Mrs. Hearne, mother of Deputy Rory Hearne, and his three beautiful children Aisling, Keelan and Erin. They are most welcome to see their daddy introduce legislation. Well done and I wish everybody a good afternoon.

As there are no other speakers indicating, I call on the Minister of State to make his summation.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Hearne. Cuirim críoch leis an díospóireacht.
