Senator Ned O?Sullivan:

I am glad to find out that this is just a happy occasion.

Before concluding, and speaking as a half-Corkman, I congratulate the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Coveney, on being elevated to the position of Tánaiste. I am not in any great hurry for this, but I also welcome in prospect the elevation of his constituency colleague, Deputy Micheál Martin, to be the next Cork Taoiseach in the footsteps of the great Jack Lynch.
