I thank all the Senators for their co-operation and thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach, all the Whips and the leaders of all the groups for their assistance. I thank all the staff in Leinster House, including the ushers, catering staff and in particular the cleaners, who keep us safe in this challenging time. I thank the Seanad staff, namely, Martin Groves, Bridget Doody, Carol Judge, Carmel Considine, Ilinca Popa, Eden McLaughlin, Aisling Hart and Amanda Carney in my office, who do so much great work behind the scenes on our behalf. I also thank Eleanor Lanigan and Grace Coyle in my office for all their hard work. To all those who have suffered bereavement this year, obviously, Christmas can be a very trying time when we think of the loved ones who are gone. At this time of the year, we think of and pray for them. I wish everyone a very happy and safe Christmas.
