I join with other members of the committee in wishing the Chairman well in his new role, which will be very challenging. It is a difficult committee that is in the early stages of its life. At the same time, it is receiving a lot of attention. There will be a lot of work involved and I wish the Chairman well. I thought that by getting elected to the Dáil I would get away from being at committee meetings chaired by Deputy Mac Lochlainn. Obviously I was wrong but I wish him all the best and look forward to working with him.
