I thank Ms O'Sullivan for that address. It is lovely to have her back. One of her big stated objectives is to hand over the planet to the next generation in better condition than we got it, if we can. That gives me a great cue to welcome the young people to the Visitors Gallery. What we do here is completely about their future. I am delighted to welcome them.

We will move now to the addresses by party spokespersons. We will stick rigidly to times. We have three minutes per spokesperson. First, to speak on behalf of the Fianna Fáil group we have the president of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, ALDE, party, which is a very good link between the European stage and our Parliament. I call Senator Dooley.
