I thank the Cathaoirleach for introducing Senators Maria Byrne and Horkan, the new old Members, shall we say. I congratulate them on their election and I congratulate all those who participated in the recent Seanad by-elections. I will not try to tell the Senators anything about this place because they are more experienced than I and many other Members are. I wish them well in their terms.
