Might I mention to the great Whip that the smallest rhododendron in the world is in the Botanic Gardens. Also, the Botanic Gardens is interested in conservation and preservation and 400 endangered species are being kept alive in its herbarium. I also welcome the conservation and preservation work that is taking place in Killarney. I welcome the platform that has been brilliantly created by the National Botanic Gardens - the green lung of Dublin.
