It was a wonderful weekend. Let me join with others in congratulating our now former colleague, Deputy Ivana Bacik, on a tremendous result in the election on Friday. As others have said, she has been a wonderful colleague over the years. All of us wish her well and know that she will do well in the Lower House. I wish her well.

Congratulations to Italy on a wonderful climax to the football tournament yesterday. Commiserations to our neighbours in England and solidarity to those poor players who have suffered racist abuse as a result of their penalty misses. It is appalling.
