I wish the Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, and the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, and their families a positive retirement when it arrives and I wish them the best for the future.

I wish to speak about the terrorist attacks in London. I offer my condolences to the victims' families. I have spoken about Islamic radicals in this country previously. I agree with what Fianna Fáil Deputy Niall Collins said during the week, that these people with terrorist views have no right to be in our country. Recently, a group in Trim was caught laundering money for terrorist groups in foreign countries. We see in the newspapers that a cleric has said that Islamic radicals in Ireland now number 100 or more. Basically, they plan to attack to create more division and hatred in our society. That murderer in England - I could not call him a gentleman - stayed under the radar in this country as a pastry chef. Could the Leader invite the new Minister to the House to discuss the issue of these people being on our shores? If they need to be put out of the country, let us put them out. They should not be here in the first place.
