I join other colleagues in wishing all of our other colleagues the very best for the next couple of weeks on their vacation, including the Clerk of the Seanad, the Clerk Assistant of the Seanad, the ushers and all Members in this Chamber and in the Lower House. I also join the Cathaoirleach in welcoming Deputy Jackie Cahill and his guests to the Visitors Gallery.

Today is an historic day, as the Cathaoirleach said at the outset. My leader, Senator Ardagh, said in her remarks that we will never be here again. I hope to be here again.
