Mary Henry (Independent)

I second Senator Norris's amendment.

As this is the Cathaoirleach's last day in the Chair, I will say how much I have appreciated the fair way he has treated all of us. It has been a great privilege to be one of the Acting Chairpersons in this House. I do not think the House knows of all the traditions established by the Cathaoirleach here, and I sincerely hope the Clerk and Clerk Assistant will have them maintained. These are the traditions of the Cathaoirleach at the Christmas party. I will not be there this year to sing "Paddy McGinty's Goat" but I sincerely hope that Senator Finucane will be returned——
