Before the Minister of State makes his reply, I welcome our guests from St. Joseph's College, Lucan. They are very welcome and I assure them the Seanad is not always this empty. There are few Senators present. The first debate will take place when the students leave. We are dealing with Commencement Matters, which are the first business the Seanad deals with every day. They are specific issues and there are only a limited number of them. That is the reason there are a few Senators in the Chamber. I hope our guests have a lovely day.
