I wish Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh every success and thank him for his tremendous service to Seanad Éireann over the past seven years. He has made a great contribution to public life here. His wonderful Gaelic is really impressive and an inspiration to others.

I happened to be out of the Chamber for ten years, from 1992 to 2002. I have no doubt that the Senator might be back here again after his stint with TG4. People should not write him off.
