This is my last time speaking here. I thank everybody, including the staff, the Ceann Comhairle and everyone else in the House for their courtesy and professionalism over the last 27 years. I also wish everyone well into the future. Finally, I suggest to the Taoiseach that with all the other great work that has been done over the years, he might consider establishing a fund so that communities can purchase land to build community centres, sports tracks, swimming pools and so on, which would help communities in a big way, especially younger people. It is a positive suggestion to finish up with.
