I would like to be associated with the Cathaoirleach's kind words about our late colleague, Rory Kiely.

On a different subject, one of our colleagues mentioned that Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, will be following in his mother's footsteps in visiting Cork on Thursday. As important if not more so is the fact that he will be following in the footsteps of his great, great, great-grandmother on Friday in visiting beauty's home, Killarney, to spend some time in Muckross House and Killarney House, in both of which Queen Victoria stayed in 1861. They can be sure of a right royal welcome. Indeed, we look forward to welcoming all of the British visitors, more of whom we need and want to see and who no doubt will follow him in the course of time. I should also mention that they are visiting Derrynane, the home of the Liberator, and Siamsa Tíre in Tralee. We wish them well in that.
