I welcome students from the renowned St. Mel's College in Longford to the Public Gallery. I also welcome their teachers, Mr. Clarke and Ms McGuinness - I hope I have got the name right - and Deputy Joe Flaherty, who is their host. I hope they have a very educational and beneficial day here i dTeach Laighean. Ba mhaith liom fíorfháilte a chur rompu go léir.

I now call on Senators Hoey and Gavan, who are sharing time. As Senator Black is not present, the Senators will have equal time. Is that agreed? Agreed.
