I had the honour and privilege of serving in my first term in this House when Kieran Coughlan was Clerk of the Seanad before Deirdre Lane took over. He subsequently went on to continue a distinguished public career. I wish him well and endorse the views from all sides of the House in wishing the staff well in the break and I thank them for all their help and co-operation.
