I wish Bobby well. There is a seat over here for him if he ever gets a bit wobbly on any issues. It is a fantastic day for his family. I know that Mr. Liam Aylward is in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery along with another former colleague, Mr. Rory Kiely, the former Cathaoirleach of the Seanad. I offer a very special welcome to Mr. Kiely, who made a massive contribution to life in the Seanad over many years.

I wish Bobby and his family well. This is their day.
