I join members in extending best wishes to Ms Justice Ring in her new and important role. I note and welcome that another woman has broken the glass ceiling in being appointed head of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. We are now led by able women in the roles of Minister, Garda Commissioner, Director of Public Prosecutions, Attorney General, Chief Justice, and the heads of the policing authority and the Human Rights and Equality Commission. This is a very welcome development. I thank the Minister and her officials.
