I welcome this morning's news that the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, has announced that the Seanad by-election will take place and that 11 February 2022 is the date by which nominations must be received. This is good news. It was officially announced this morning. We must always welcome elections. I wish all of the people who have been considering standing for election for a long time the best of luck. It will, no doubt, be a challenging and an exciting election. It will be great to see a new Member in Seanad Éireann.
