Perhaps they will embark on a tour of Portlaoise.
I thank all members and guests for participating in this very interesting exchange. Our guests have helped greatly in giving us a better understanding of the work that is being done in Britain and highlighting areas in which there have been huge improvements in terms of the services provided to Irish emigrants to Britain. Those services are every bit as important in 2014 as they were in times past. I thank SenatorÓ Murchú for the very generous donation to the library scheme by Comhaltas Ceoltoirí Éireann. That organisation has provided a very fine selection of music DVDs and CDs which will give many hours of pleasure to people in the London Irish Centre for years to come.
I remind everyone that the launch is happening in the coffee dock in Leinster House at 6 p.m. and everyone is welcome. We have two very distinguished visitors in the Public Gallery who will be joining us for our celebration and launch this evening. I welcome Martina Devlin and Ré Ó Laighéis and look forward to hearing them in full flight at the launch later.
