I acknowledge the contribution made by the former Ombudsman for Children, Ms Emily Logan, which is also acknowledged internationally by virtue of her new appointment. I, too, wish Dr. Niall Muldoon well. I do not know him personally. He has big shoes to fill. I read in the Minister's press release that a large number of applications for the post were received, which is positive. I wish Dr. Muldoon well and want to assure him of the full support of the Oireachtas as he goes about his work.
