John Carty (Fianna Fail)

I commend the Green Party on putting down this motion. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy McGuinness, to the House. It is nice to see the Waterford alliance of Senators Cummins and Coffey so strong on the other side of the House. I am sure the Minister of State, coming from the sunny south east, is delighted to see them also, although that would not be the case in Croke Park.
