Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the release of Fr. Michael Sinnott. He is a national hero and I hope he will be recognised as such when he returns home to Ireland in due course. I compliment the Minister, Deputy Micheál Martin, the staff in the Department of Foreign Affairs and all those associated with his release. The work that is done to address these issues, which is done silently and with great dignity, is a wonderful tribute to our services abroad.

I am sorry I kept Senator Joe O'Toole awake all night last night.
