I wish the Minister, Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor and the Minister of State, Deputy Pat Breen every good luck in their new portfolios. I was always a particular admirer of the Minister, Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor, since she was elected to this House. I appreciated her political ability. I was delighted with her elevation to ministerial status. From the bottom of my heart I wish her and the Minister of State nothing but good luck during this Dáil term and I hope it will be a long and fruitful one-----
