That alone would be a useful result.
I thank the experts who spoke this morning, Dr. Eoin O'Dell and Ms Hazel Tunney, and the pupils from Bishopstown community college and Eureka secondary school. A past pupil of the latter school, Martina Fitzgerald of RTÉ, came in earlier and is still in the Gallery, which gives the delegates a good chance of making the news. Senators would love to see Ms Fitzgerald here as often as possible. I thank Mr. Stephen McKee and the other teachers who accompanied both sets of students. The Gallery is not often as full as we are happy to see it today. All our visitors are very welcome. We have had a useful discussion during the course of both sessions. All of the presentations were sufficiently comprehensive that I am left with few questions. Any points I wished to raise were covered in the course of the contributions.
