Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I welcome Senator Darragh O'Brien to the House. I hope he is successful in contesting the forthcoming Seanad election and will return to serve in the House.

I wish all the Members of this House who have been elected to the Dáil well. It has been a marvellous success for them. Please God, those Senators on this side who were not successful in the general election will be back here again and contest a future general election.

As regards the Private Members' Bill to be brought before us today, the Registration of Wills Bill, No. 18 of 2005, was passed by this House on 13 December 2006. Unfortunately, however, all of my efforts to have it passed by the Lower House were unsuccessful. I will not go into that matter today, but I will explain the reasons sometime.
