Francis O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

I join other speakers in extending good wishes to the Taoiseach, Deputy Bertie Ahern, and Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, Deputy Séamus Brennan. Yesterday, when the Taoiseach met the First Minister, Dr. Ian Paisley, at the Battle of the Boyne site, was a great day for Ireland. I was one of the lucky few to be present and it was wonderful to be there. It was a wonderful day for all the people of this country, North and South. I extend my best wishes to the incoming Taoiseach, Deputy Brian Cowen.
