I know colleagues will join me in congratulating the new Senators and welcoming them back to the House. I congratulate them on their election and look forward to working with them in the Seanad. I know they will work hard on behalf of all the people. I congratulate all those who contested the election. Elections are important to the work of democracy. I look forward to working with our new colleagues and I congratulate them on their successful election. They deserve their seats. I know colleagues will wish to congratulate the new Senators individually and we will do so after the acting Leader has outlined the Order of Business.
