I thank all colleagues in the Seanad who spoke on this motion. I thank the Minister of State for attending and giving us a comprehensive account of what is being done on integration. I thank him, in particular, for his personal description of the PolskaÉire festival, its highlights and so on. Mr. Martin O'Prey from his office is seated in the Visitors Gallery with visitors and he deserves a special thanks. I also thank the visitors, including Senator Noone's cousin, for coming in and for all the work they have done on the PolskaÉire festival.

As the proposer of the motion, I know that Senator Hayden will join with me in making no apology for what is an unashamedly positive motion and for using language of commendation for the Minister of State, PolskaÉire festival and the work done on integration.
