Today's business is Item 1. As today is the last day of the session I thank Members on all sides of the House for their co-operation during this session. We had a very productive session. We completed a number of important Bills including the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill, the National Monuments (Amendment) Bill, the Road Traffic Bill, the Social Welfare Bill, the Industrial Training (Apprenticeship Levy) Bill, the Terms of Employment (Information) Bill and the Stillbirths Registration Bill. We also completed Second Stage of the Criminal Justice (No. 3) Bill. We debated important matters such as the tourism industry and early retirement for teachers. I am delighted to see news of a positive response to the latter debate in today's paper. We also debated the budget, the residential property tax, the report of the National Education Convention, the Developing the West Together report and the extension of the free legal aid service.
We have had a constructive and productive session and I wish all Members a relaxing recess. I look forward to another busy session after the Easter recess. One of the Bills we will have in the next session is the Irish Horse Racing Industry Bill. The Leader and I have been looking for the initiation in the Seanad of a substantial piece of legislation and I am delighted that this important Bill is coming to the Seanad. We will also have to complete the Committee and remaining Stages of the Criminal Justice (No. 3) Bill and we will debate the Casual Trading Bill, the Solicitors (Amendment) Bill, the Landlord and Tenant (Amendment) Bill and the Electoral (Amendment) Bill, which deals with the urban elections. I assure Senators that we will have a busy session after Easter so I would like Members to take things easy during Easter and come back refreshed and relaxed.
