The first matter will be Senator Chambers and Murphy on the issue of support for Ireland West Airport Knock. Before they arise to talk on the issue, it would be remiss of me not to mention the great Monsignor Horan for making sure that the dream became a reality, and all of the people who were involved in putting the airport together and making sure it continues. Brian O'Dwyer, who was on the first pilgrimage flight from the United States of America, is now the international chairman. He landed in the first pilgrimage flight that arrived and maybe he will arrive in another aeroplane that will be coming, which might be Air Force One.
