In accordance with Standing Order 79B, the following message will be sent to the Dáil:
The Select Committee on Enterprise and Small Business has completed its consideration of the National Training Fund Bill, 2000 and has made amendments thereto.
I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Treacy, and his officials, Ms Annette Costello and Mr. William Parnell. I also thank the members for their contributions to the debate, particularly Deputies Rabbitte and Naughten. They were much appreciated. I wish everybody here, including the support staff, a happy Christmas.
