Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Cathaoirleach and join him in the thanks he has paid. We have had a successful term under his aegis and for that we record our appreciation. I thank the leaders of the other parties, who were always available at the end of the telephone to discuss in a plain fashion how we could tweak the agendas on various days so that good service could be given to the Senators and to the public in the making of legislation. As the Cathaoirleach mentioned Mr. McCormack, I also have the right to do so. The Seanad would not run if it were not for him.
