It is always nice to chair a debate where everyone is on the same side and there is not too much controversy in the room.

Senator Ahearn wishes to contribute. Unfortunately, he will not be able to get a response from the Minister of State, given that she can only speak once, but he can certainly put his thoughts on the record.

Before he does, though, I welcome to the Gallery a person I knew a long time ago when he was in university. He is back now and helping with this legislation, namely, Mr. Donnchadh Woulfe. He is here with his son. He has put a great deal of work into the Bill. They are both welcome to the Chamber. It is good to see Mr. Woulfe.
