I thank Senator Warfield for paying a nice tribute to Dennis Cahill. May he rest in peace.

Senators Warfield and Dolan spoke about festivals and it is that time of year. The sun is supposed to shine but it is not doing its job. It is very welcome to see open air and small festivals in local towns and villages returning to us. Now more than ever, given the impact of Covid, artists and creative people need the support they have heard us talk about for the last couple of years. They need to start seeing that support now and people need to talk with their feet by going out and enjoying the wonderful talent we have in this country.
