Before I call on the Leader to respond, on my own behalf and that of the staff to my right, Martin Groves and Bridget Doody, who have shown great patience and indulgence on most occasions, I thank all the Members for their kind remarks. I also offer my congratulations to Commissioner Phil Hogan. That any Irishman who wears the green jersey, irrespective of party, would get such an honour has to be acknowledged. I hope that we will be back here again in 18 months or whenever it is. If not, I hope that we will be in better pastures. I wish those who want to go down to come up well as well.
