Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

Perhaps when the Leader replies she will be able to tell me if the Minister will publish the Green Paper on pensions before the general election.

I wish everybody standing for election to the Dáil or the Seanad well. I also wish those who are not contesting the elections well, including Senators Dardis and Bohan and perhaps one or two others who are retiring. On my behalf and that of my group, I thank the members of staff, including the Clerk, the Clerk Assistant, Eamonn McCormack and everybody who has been so helpful to us during the past five years.
