I congratulate Senator Ruane on arranging the football match tonight. It is no harm for us to get out of our bubble and socialise with people, and I congratulate her on connecting us with the Breakthrough Programme. I look forward to lifting the FAI cup tonight because, as a Sligo Rovers fan, we have lifted it three times in the past 15 years, and there is only one rovers - Sligo Rovers.

I welcome the confirmation by the US House of Representatives of its support for the Good Friday Agreement and I thank Tom Suozzi and Peter King. The House of Representatives has, more or less, acknowledged the shared relationship between the US, the UK and the Republic of Ireland. They believe that Brexit does not appropriately protect the Good Friday Agreement and threatens to undermine the process. They have reaffirmed their support for the Good Friday Agreement. With the British general election coming up, it is nice that our friends in the US have stood up to be counted. On behalf of the Seanad, I thank them for their support at this time.
