Pat Gallagher (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Go raibh maith agat, a Theachtaí agus a cheannairí. I will pass on their good wishes to the Ceann Comhairle who will be back here at the beginning of the next session, not saying when that might be.

In addition to Peter Finnegan and the Members, the Captain of the Guard and the acting superintendent, I thank all their staff, the ushers, those in the Members' dining room, the self-service restaurant and the bars and everyone who services this House. Go raibh mile maith agaibh go leir agus bain sult as an mbriseadh seo.

We will move on. I suggest that we finish this year as we would hope to start next year-----
