Before moving on, by way of information to the House, I want to let Members know that one of our longer serving and most respected ushers will retire tomorrow after 22 years' service. Before he came to us here, Martin Murray worked in the newspaper sector, in journalism and editing. In fact, he worked from the age of 14, I understand. He is a great traveller and he loves Malta, one of his preferred destinations. He was an avid footballer in his youth and a keen boxer. We are very lucky we never called on him to use his boxing skills since he came in here. We understand that his plan for his retirement is to spend time with his daughter, Aisling, and his granddaughters, the apples of his eye, Elsie and Evie. On behalf of everyone, we can wish Martin many, many long, happy and productive years of retirement with his three special ladies. Thank you for putting up with us during all those years.
