For the information of the House, I should point out that the distinguished gentleman sitting in front of the Chair, Mr. Brian Hickey, who has given exemplary and outstanding service to these Houses over many years, is sitting in the Chamber with us for the last time. He is due to retire tomorrow and I am sure all Members of the House join with me in wishing him and his family long years of health and happiness in the new phase of their lives.
