Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

They are confused about what they are supposed to be doing.

As today is the last day of this sitting of the Dáil, on my behalf and on behalf of the Fine Gael Party I wish the Ceann Comhairle and his staff the best for this holy season and for Christmas and the new year. I thank the staff of this House for their loyalty, courtesy and hospitality at all times to all Members. The Ceann Comhairle has learned to be more restrained than he was during his initiation period in the Chair and has proven himself to be pragmatic and understanding in his role. I pay tribute to the staff for their unfailing dedication to ensuring the Oireachtas works. The members of the fourth estate, who are absent at present from the Gallery, also have a job to perform.
