I join with all the words of congratulations to the Cathaoirleach, commiserate with my Mayo colleague, Senator Rose Conway-Walsh, and congratulate Senator Jerry Buttimer. I look forward to working with Senator Buttimer, who will make a very fine Leader. I understand the Cathaoirleach holds the distinction of having spoken for 28 hours on a piece of legislation, the Harbours (Amendment) Bill. I am sure he will show great latitude when we feel very impassioned about particular topics.
