Margaret Conlon (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

I am delighted to have an opportunity to contribute to this debate. I congratulate my colleague, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe, on his elevation to the position of Minister for Education and Science. I firmly believe that one gets what one deserves. I believe this elevation is richly deserved. Based on his track record, I am sure he will carry out his duties to the very best of his ability and in an admirable fashion. I wish him well.
