I congratulate him on that. I thank him for what he said about Mr. Delaney's role in Leinster House. He was a part of the team of former Senator John Dolan. Mr. Dolan and Mr. Delaney were strong advocates for disability issues in Leinster House. I heard Mr. Delaney say that there is a case to be made for appointing somebody for disability in each sector. That is something I will bring back to my party to see if there is anything that can be done.
Ms Kilcawley mentioned examinations. The one-size-fits-all approach has not worked. I also congratulate her on her success. This has been a complete eye-opener. In examinations, those with disabilities need every possible assistance to give them a level playing field. Ms Kilcawley certainly excelled in the examinations and I am sure the people of Sligo and Waterford are proud of her. I thank her.
There is a guide dog over there; I do not know the name of the guide dog.
