However, I am in a collegiate mood so I will avoid the temptation other than to say that I wish candidates well. We all know it is not easy to go forward in, and to fight, an election campaign. For them and their families it is a very trying, but often very exciting and worthwhile, time to get out and engage with the electorate on the doorsteps. I wish candidates and their families well.

However, I hope following tomorrow's result that the outcome, whatever it is, will be respected and that the parties will return to the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement and work positively, collaboratively and respectfully, as Senator Martin very eloquently encouraged them to do, so we can get back to the work of ensuring not only that budgets are delivered and money is put back into people's pockets but also that we can work through institutions such as the North-South Inter-Parliamentary Association so we in the Oireachtas can engage with our colleagues in the North for the betterment of everyone across the island.On that note, I have to go North to knock on doors.
