Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I take the opportunity, which I should have at the outset, to thank the Ceann Comhairle and all of the ushers and staff in Leinster House for their courtesy, co-operation, tolerance and infinite patience with all of us. We wish them a bit of a break, or rather, more of a break. They will obviously still be here but will have some respite from the day-to-day pressures of the House being in operation. I sincerely thank them on my behalf, that of the Government, and all of the Government parties.
