Mary White (Fianna Fail)

I appreciate that. I look forward to the same treatment from him in the future.

I draw Senators' attention to the Taoiseach's 11 nominees today. If I may be allowed to pick out one, Dr. Martin McAleese, who so elegantly supported President Mary McAleese over the past 14 years, and whom we saw last week side by side with her on the visits of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and President Obama, I thank him, on my behalf and on behalf of all of my colleagues.
