I thank Senator Byrne for his work. I am aware that he is passionate about higher education because it is a field he has worked in.If anyone wants to know about Senator Byrne's long campaign over the past two years, I believe the only office he has not run for is President. President Higgins had better watch out.

I could be wrong, but I believe the final speaker is Senator Seery Kearney.
