Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

A Cheann Comhairle, on behalf of the Government I thank you and your staff for your work during the year. I also wish well the staff of the Houses, who are not often appreciated. When we finish in this Chamber they continue working to complete what takes place in the House. I wish all Members of the House a happy Christmas. There has been a considerable and long period of discussion since we returned after the summer recess and each Member of the House deserves to be afforded the opportunity to have some time off with their families. Ba mhaith liom ar son an Rialtais Nollaig shona agus bliain úr faoi mhaise a thabhairt do gach duine anseo.
