Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I wish to share time with the Minister for Education and Science, Deputy Mary Hanafin.

I congratulate the new Ministers, Deputies Killeen and Carey, and the new Ministers of State. I wish the former Ministers, Deputies Willie O'Dea and Martin Cullen, well. They were good colleagues at the Cabinet table for many years. I also wish Deputy Sargent well.
