Éamon has been a great friend to all of us in many ways, helping unobtrusively, and often openly, but always conforming to the highest standards and expecting the highest standards from others. I am sure his wife, Vera, and his children, David, Orla and Sinéad, will be glad to see more of him and I hope Éamon enjoys a fruitful retirement. I am aware they plan many activities together as a family and I have no doubt that we will see Éamon again when he comes back to visit.
