Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I am happy to make one small amendment to the earlier remarks of Deputy Kenny; former President Mandela "is" an international icon and that is something we have every right to celebrate also.

I welcome the fact that the motion before the House has been signed off by the representative spokespersons of all parties in the Chamber. It is a unanimous proposition deserving of unanimous endorsement consequently.
