I thank the Chairman. I am glad to have the opportunity to say a few awards.

I thank Deputy John Brady for opening up this debate. Many people I have known certainly did not want to retire and, sadly, they did not live very long after retirement. A few of them were depressed and felt bad about it. Others did not live until the day they were due to retire.
