Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Before I start, I wish the Ceann Comhairle and his staff a very happy Christmas and a peaceful new year. I wish the same to the Minister of State, Deputy Ring, and the Minister, Deputy Donohoe. I hope they enjoy the break. They deserve it, as they have had a rough few weeks in the House.
