I thank Deputy Troy. I have been asked by his constituency colleague, Deputy Peter Burke, who is chairing the Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach to pass on a message. If people hear the bells ringing, it is because that committee is having votes. Deputy Burke wishes to pay tribute to Maura and her family and friends here today. He commented that Peter was always very friendly and had a kind word for everyone he met. That was displayed by the extraordinary crowd that turned out for Peter's funeral in St. Mel's.

Finally, I call Deputy Kate O'Connell to say a few words. It is not because she is contemplating a move of constituency but because she is a close family friend.
