Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I thank all Members for their contributions to a constructive debate. I thank Deputy McGuinness for his remarks and, given that Deputy Hogan is also present, I can confirm the capacity of Kilkenny people to help outsiders to integrate in the city. Many Cork people have migrated to Kilkenny and have been well absorbed into the community. If Cork people can be absorbed that well by Kilkenny city, it speaks volumes.
