I congratulate Deputy Aylward on his re-election to Dáil Éireann. As has been said already it was a very enjoyable campaign, which has probably laid the foundation for what will be a very enjoyable campaign in a little less than a year. I look forward to taking on that challenge in the time to come. I look forward to seeing Deputy Aylward and Deputy McGuinness going hand-in-hand around the constituency this time next year.
