Verona Murphy (Wexford, Independent)

As we come to the end of the current Dáil session and head into the summer recess, I want to personally thank the Deputies for their co-operation, which I trust and hope will continue when we return in September. On behalf of all the Members, I thank Mr. Peter Finnegan and his team for their support and hard work. I further thank the Superintendent and his team of ushers, who keep us safe, and the catering team, who keep us fed and watered. I thank my own staff, both in my office here and at local level, for their valuable support and assistance over the past six months and before. I hope everybody has a very productive summer. I look forward to seeing you all in September, refreshed and ready to go.
