John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

Will the Deputy Leader invite the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to the House? We are approaching the end of the 29th Dáil and Seanad during which there has been unprecedented prosperity, opportunity and social inclusion. It should be recognised that Ireland is regarded as a shining light throughout the world. We should discuss with the Minister how this progress can be sustained. We also have peace, together with prosperity. Given that there may be a breakthrough in Northern Ireland on Monday, I ask the Deputy Leader to send our best wishes to those involved.
