I wish him every success in his retirement. We will all miss the updates on the Dublin club championship and, depending on how Dublin progressed at the weekend, the humour that we would meet when we came in on Tuesday. There was the odd time when some of us from the country had the opportunity to have a smile on our faces coming through the door. We look forward to Bernard visiting Hyde Park in Roscommon during the league. I hope that we will cause a few upsets for the Dubs.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you every success in your retirement. I know that Bernard is looking forward to having a large amount of time to fulfil babysitting duties. A large part of his diary will be filled up by that. I wish you, your wife Laura and your family every success and every good health in your retirement. Do not be a stranger around here.
