On behalf of the Labour Party group, I add my voice to those who are congratulating Senator Coghlan on his election as Leas-Chathaoirleach. He will do a superb job. It has been a pleasure to work with him over the past five years and I look forward to working with him in the future. I have had the pleasure that not many colleagues may have had of seeing him in his natural habitat of Muckross House in Killarney. I saw how well revered he is there. Perhaps now, as Leas-Chathaoirleach, he will achieve the ambition that he has often expressed in this House, which is to bring it to Muckross House. One never knows; he may succeed in bringing the Seanad to Kerry.
