I also welcome the work we did on the Committee on Procedure and Privileges this morning. We will find a resolution to the issues around voting very shortly. I thank the staff for their engagement. It is very important that the Seanad continues to operate effectively and that we do our duty and what we were elected and are paid to do.

As a member of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, I would probably have been observing the US election this week. I watched with horror all of the demonstrations that have been taking place. There does not seem to be any indication of voter fraud despite what the current President says. I would have welcomed the opportunity to observe the election. I hope that sense will prevail and that following this, we will have a coming together of the people of the US with a common interest in peace and reconciliation between all sides because that is the most important thing.
