Paul Coghlan: Senator Leyden is ever helpful. I too welcome the appointment of Mr. Justice Nial Fennelly to chair the commission of investigation. I say genuinely to my good friends opposite that it would be important that they exercise more caution and less haste. We all have a duty to be properly informed. Mr. Justice Cooke will report in due course, as will Mr. Guerin, SC. There will be a debate...

The Minister wants to increase the number of ferry services. I welcome these objectives very much. It augurs well for us.

Seriously, however, this initiative is great for tourism, not just for the region but also for the country as a whole, because the visitor attraction will be outstanding. I will take the opportunity in due course to invite all Members down to see it.

Paul Coghlan: I would like to be associated with the remarks of the Leader and others in offering sympathy to Senator John Kelly on the sudden death of his father.
