I would also like to wish Kieran Coughlan the very best in his retirement. I thank him for his courtesy and professionalism. When will the Shannon aviation services centre Bill be published? It is critical that it is debated and enacted before the end of the year. A great deal of progress has been made in Shannon in the past year. Passenger numbers grew by 8% in June alone. This is the next step in the process. I would like to know the situation.

The Bill is due for publication and debate in the House later this year.
