-----to get the research on those. There were 37,941 questions with written answers and 977 with oral answers. Apart from secretarial staff, Oireachtas Library and Research staff do an outstanding job. We should be very appreciative of what they do. They are fantastic people and are all so helpful. The ushers look after us so well from morning until night. Many a time I have had to get my office reopened late at night. They never say "Boo", but just go and do it. The cleaners have been very significant over the past two years, especially since the Covid pandemic. We should give a major "Thank you" to them for what they have done. At one stage they were looking for a small area where they could have a cup of tea or relax. It is something we should look after for them because they are extraordinary people. We should acknowledge that here today.

I say well done to the Minister. We will of course support this Bill. I thank him for the open and frank debate we are having and I ask him to continue his good work.
