I say, "Well done" to Lauren, Paula, Louise, Sinéad and Martina. I introduced myself as having a long career in psychiatric nursing. On this side of the Seanad, a lot of us are really working hard. Senator Joan Freeman is making sure that we really work hard and give our hearts to making sure our mothers, fathers and siblings are all safe and our children are safe.

To start off, I want to mention Linn Dara . I have raised it every day in this Chamber since the beds were closed. It is utterly unacceptable. They just do not get it and that is what we need to keep saying, again and again.

There is so much that I want to say but, obviously, I have been told to be good. There are lots of themes emerging.
