I want to take the opportunity to congratulate two of our leading artists in different disciplines who have been nominated for prestigious Tony awards for best new play and best musical score. I refer to the writer Mr. Colm Tóibín and the musician and head of music at UCC Dr. Mel Mercier. It is a huge achievement, and my fellow Senators will join with me in applauding their nominations in New York.
