Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I want to take this opportunity - it might be the last time I am in the Chair - to thank the Ceann Comhairle for his great work over the past number of years.

He has been a tremendous Ceann Comhairle, has done a tremendous job and has been fair to everybody in the House. I want to put that on the record.

I also compliment the Ceann Comhairle's wonderful staff. The House would not run without their courtesy and efficiency. I thank them for the way they run the business.

I welcome to the Gallery Evan Lynch Boyd and his father Eamon. I hope they have a very enjoyable day in the Dáil. I look forward to taking them around later.
