Go raibh míle maith agat. We are all aware of the Senator's great work on inclusion and in respect of the Special Olympics and the work she did over many years on that. It is fitting and appropriate that she would mention her parents, Jimmy and Mary, today as we are all grateful for the support of so many who got us to this Chamber. I thank her for her work on the Irish Sign Language Act 2017 when it went to the Dáil, ensuring sure that the inclusion she is passionate about came to fruition with what was essentially civil rights for members of the deaf community which, according to the justice committee, was suffering extreme marginalisation by virtue of the fact that it had no right of access to State services through its own language.

I call Senator Craughwell.
