Seán Power (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)

I would like to be associated with the good wishes to colleagues and staff in the House for a happy and peaceful Christmas. In football terms, there is always great pride taken by the team that occupies the top spot in the premiership at Christmas. In political terms and following the recent opinion polls, that is a position being occupied by the Fine Gael Party, so I would like to congratulate them on that, and to acknowledge the role played by the invisible man and the comeback kid.
