From the minute we walk in to the minute we walk out, we are looked after very well. I thank all the staff. I wish all Senators and their families a very happy Christmas.

I support the motion on secretarial assistants which I, along with almost every other Senator, signed.

The insurance issue with which Senator Paddy Burke and others and I have been dealing at the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach has been going on for a long time. It is a work in progress. We are now seeing some of the data we have been seeking for a long time. We need to have a debate on insurance in early course when we return in the new year.
