I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I will come to that matter presently.

I would like to be associated with the tributes to Professor Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, who gave a lifetime to music in Ireland. It is an art form that does not get the same exposure as literature, for instance. Professor Ó Súilleabháin was part of a long tradition of Munster pioneers like Seán Ó Ríada and Aloys Fleischmann in Cork and has left behind a proud record.

I wish to advise the Leader and Members of the House that I have taken on new responsibilities as party spokesman on foreign affairs, the Irish abroad and the diaspora.
