This is the last Leaders' Questions of 2018 so I express my thanks to the Taoiseach, the leaders of the parties and all Members for their co-operation throughout the year and the courtesy they have shown to everyone who has occupied this chair. I thank Mr. Peter Finnegan and the staff of the Houses right across the service as they look after all of us very well and are unfailing in their support of us. I thank the press corps for being assiduous, keeping an eye on us and holding us to account. I wish everybody a happy and blessed Christmas. I ask people to enjoy the time with family and friends. I hope people take the time to recharge the batteries as all the indications are that we will back in January facing pretty momentous challenges that will have to be addressed.
