Rory Kiely (Fianna Fail)

As this is the last meeting before the Christmas recess I extend seasonal greetings to all Members and the staff of the House. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach, the Leader, the Deputy Leader, Government Whip and the leaders and whips of the other groups and all Senators for their assistance and co-operation. I particularly thank Deirdre, the Clerk of the Seanad, Jody, the Clerk Assistant, and all the staff for their assistance and courtesy. I wish everyone a relaxed and peaceful Christmas.
