Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I am taking this item on behalf of Senator Warfield who sends the Minister his apologies for not being available this evening.

I am actually quite thankful that Senator Norris has left the Chamber. This is not out of any disrespect whatsoever but because this is not my bailiwick, I am going to read a speech that has been provided for me. I remember in the previous term that Senator Norris would regularly reprimand people for reading speeches.
