I first welcome representatives of the deaf community to Seanad Éireann this afternoon and thank them for coming. I welcome the Minister of State to the Chamber. I also acknowledge the enormous work Senator Mark Daly has done on this matter. He has my absolute support. This campaign has been run in a very professional way. I have been amazed since my entry into the Seanad by the amount of correspondence, e-mails, telephone calls, very strategic canvassing, working, mobilising and exercising and advocating for this position, and I commend all the people involved in this because that is what real democracy is about.
