Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this debate, a Cheann Comhairle. As the House is aware, I worked with Deputy Enda Kenny in the most difficult of times and circumstances for our country during the past five years. I know him to be intrinsically decent and incredibly hard-working. Despite some of the comments made by other Deputies, I believe that history will treat the Government that he led during the past five years kindly.
