Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

I did not indicate a speaking time for No. 2, and I suggest five minutes per Senator if that is agreeable to the House. Senator O'Meara, in her contribution, asked the Seanad to continue to include in its deliberations issues affecting children. I am sure we can all agree with that. Senators White and Quinn highlighted the fact of 8 July being a seminal date. It is the very famous date on which my wife and I got married 39 years ago and it is Senator Maurice Hayes's 80th birthday. We all wish him well.
