With regard to the election of Mr. Trump, I have only one thing to say in addition to what others have said, and it seems to me to be the most obvious matter for his legacy, which is that he will be nominating three members of the Supreme Court. This means America will be travelling backwards socially for the next four years. It is a great tragedy.
I would like to raise the issue of our move into the museum space. It is adjacent and it is certainly very convenient for Members, so there is no question but that it is very practical. However, one cannot but listen to the voice of somebody like the very distinguished former director of the National Museum, Mr. Pat Wallace, who has made some very sharp comments indeed about this matter. I would like to suggest to the Cathaoirleach and the Leader that a delegation of, say, six Members of the Seanad go and actually visit. I do not believe I have ever been in that particular space in the museum.
