I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I think this is his first visit since his elevation to ministerial office. He is very welcome. He has certainly hit the ground running over the last few weeks. I have been reading in the newspapers about the various commitments he has been making. I would like to wish him all the best in his new role. I know he has a genuine interest in this area. I hope he will be given an opportunity to make a real difference. I am sure this portfolio will keep him very busy. I will be happy to help in any way by picking up the slack in Dublin Bay North while he is going around the country fulfilling his various duties.
