Such was my enthusiasm to add to the chorus of well wishers, I could hardly keep myself in my seat for such a long time. I would like to add my good wishes. I have always enjoyed listening to him in the Seanad and his articulate speeches. He has been outstanding with his reforms and there is no doubt about that. As somebody who has worked in the Irish courts system for seven years, I recognise that the system is outdated and I must commend him on his efforts in trying to reform the courts system. I thank him on behalf of the Labour Party group in the Senate and I wish him a great break.
