Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Ceann Comhairle) | Oireachtas source

Given that it is the beginning of the last session of the term, I will avail of the opportunity to thank all the Members, the party leaders and the group leaders for their co-operation and assistance throughout the course of the year, and all the Members of the House for their engagement and support. On the Members' behalf, I extend a very sincere thank you to the Clerk of the Dáil and all the ancillary staff here in the Houses. We are exceptionally fortunate to work with the finest of public servants across a range of services. I wish each and every Member a happy and relaxing, and, for those who want it, a holy, Christmas in the period ahead.
