In accordance with Standing Order No. 79B, I propose the following message be sent to the Clerk of the Dáil:

The Select Committee on Public Enterprise and Transport has completed its consideration of the Air Navigation and Transport (Amendment) Bill, 1997, and has made amendments thereto.

Is that agreed? Agreed. The Clerk to the Committee will send a written message to the Clerk of the Dáil to the effect that the committee has completed consideration of the Bill and has made amendments thereto. The Ceann Comhairle will convey the message to the Dáil at the first convenient opportunity.

That concludes the business of this meeting. I thank the Minister, her officials and all committee members for their contributions.

I thank the Chairman, his secretariat and all committee members for their patience, forbearance and goodwill. The Bill is improved and I hope it will be further improved on Report Stage.
