I thank Ms Smith for her work.

Enough has been said. The Senator should go and celebrate. His record speaks for itself. His generosity of person is notable. As Senator Paddy Burke rightly said, when anybody comes into the House the Senator is always willing to have his photograph taken and is always pleasant, amicable and a gentleman. Like Senator Mullen, I wish him multos annosor many more years. I too wish Pope John XXIII was still with us as that would be a wonderful model of church to follow.
