Before I ask the Leader to respond, I thank all Members present, and some who are not present, for their messages of sympathy to me on the death of my sister. She is a sad loss. She left Ireland and west Cork when I was a few months old and I did not meet her until I was eight. We became very close and I wish I had the strength she had to deal with a life abroad as a young girl. She had lots of ups and downs but one thing that always struck me was how she never complained, even up to her final days. I will sadly miss her. I thank all the people who offered me their condolences. I did not expect this to happen on the Order of Business but I was not in a position to stop it. I sincerely thank you all.
