I wish the Taoiseach and his family well. I am sure they are very proud of him, and so they should be.

His departure is more a case of, "Hasta la vista, baby. I'll be back next week as the Tánaiste." He will appreciate that I must be careful about eulogising his time as Taoiseach because, as is the culture in the House, I will probably have to hold him to account next week.
