I welcome Senator Buttimer's father, Ms Kay Redmond and Ms Helen Duignan to the Visitors Gallery. It is nice for the Leader that his father, who gave a lot of service to the co-operative foundation, is here today. I also acknowledge the presence of the Lord Mayors of various counties, including my neighbour, the newly elected mayor of Cork County, Declan Hurley, and Councillor Sheehan from Kerry, whose brother was a former Member of the Seanad.I cannot see all of the faces. I think that the Lord Mayor of Cork, Councillor Fitzgerald, was welcomed earlier. I apologise if I have forgotten anyone but my sight is failing. I welcome everyone to the Chamber and call on the Leader to respond.
