Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

It is good to hear the views of Senator Bradford, as a distinguished co-chair of BIPA. The Senator urged the committee of which I am a member to exercise caution as we enter the decade of commemoration.

I thank the current co-chairs of the assembly, Deputy McHugh and Laurence Robinson, MP, for the great body of work they managed to deliver. Tewkesbury, the constituency which Mr. Robinson represents in Parliament, encompasses the famous Cheltenham racecourse with which a number of Members will be familiar. He has extended a general invitation and I believe the Taoiseach intends to visit next year.
