Only deserving cases were paired. I am glad to join in the tributes to the Leader.

I thank Senator Paul Coghlan and Senator Aideen Hayden, the Whip and deputy Whip on the Government side. I thank my leader in the House, Senator Darragh O'Brien, and those who filled in for him in his absence for their help.I thank all colleagues in the House, in particular those in Fianna Fáil and on this side, for their help in my attempts to defeat the Government on occasion.

Since starting out five years ago, we have lost three Members. Thankfully, it was through their own free will and not as in previous Seanaid when Members unfortunately passed away. I want to remember them today. I wish Jimmy Harte, who retired recently due to illness, and his family the very best of luck in the years ahead.
