I join Senator Whelan in congratulating Senator Hayden on her appointment or election - I am not sure which - as the Whip of the Labour Party group. I pay tribute to the former Whip, Senator Susan O'Keeffe. It is not an easy job being a Whip and it is certainly not an easy job being an assistant Whip to a Government Whip, particularly when that Government Whip is Senator Paul Coghlan. I wish her well.
