I join with my colleagues in sending my best wishes to Joe Carroll and his family. It should be remembered that Mr. Carroll is the author of an important study of Irish neutrality during the Second World War. It is at times like these that we appreciate the value Irish neutrality still possesses.

I am sure Senator Coonan will be glad to confirm that decentralisation in all parts of County Tipperary is moving ahead nicely.
