Very briefly, I join colleagues in wishing Senator Ó Clochartaigh well. I think everyone of us is here with the sole ambition to effect change to make people's lives better and deliver better services. Every time Senator Ó Clochartaigh spoke it was about trying to improve a situation and to effect that change. Some of us will leave this House without being able to have the same influence over effecting change. The great thing about the move Senator Ó Clochartaigh is making is that I think he will continue to push forward in his new job the change and the contribution he wishes to make to help to improve people's lives. I thank him for the contribution he has made to the House and the contribution I know he will make into the future. I join colleagues in wishing him and his family every success in his future endeavours. His family will be able to see him a lot more now that he will be at home more often. Unfortunately, life in politics does not help in that regard. I wish him well and thank him for the contribution he has made.
