Cuirim fáilte roimh na daoine ó chlann Spain, go mórmhór Jean Spain, ata i láthair don lá an-tábhachtach céiliúrtha seo. As Senator Norris said, it is extraordinary that we actually excluded women and that they were precluded from voting. We celebrate this very important day with our colleagues. I genuinely and wholeheartedly commend all of our colleagues involved in Vótáil 100. It has been an unbelievable success. I hope we can keep the display in the anteroom in perpetuity.
