Brendan Griffin (Kerry, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As Fine Gael Whip, I wish everyone a very happy Christmas. I hope everyone gets time with their families and loved ones over the Christmas period. I also thank the Ceann Comhairle for being a very fair referee in here. He does not have goal-line technology but he always gets the calls right - most of the time anyway. I thank him and all the staff in the Houses who do a fantastic job. Hopefully, we will get the call to see Darren Brady and co. this evening for a short while. This is the final question on promised legislation of the year.
