I am pleased because this is important work, coming at an important time in the history of our country. My family has taken its part in the foundation of this state, my grand-uncle having died fighting for the Free State side in 1921, and so I am pleased that this happened today. I wish Senator O'Keeffe well. I know that she has a difficult job to do, and I hope she receive the support she deserves.
