I thank the Minister of State very much. I also thank Senator Kyne for bringing up this very appropriate matter during today's Commencement debate. We are all aware of what meningitis has done to families so suddenly in different parts of the country.

We always like to see visitors in the Gallery, some of whom I know, such as Cormac, and some of whom I do not. They are all very welcome; céad míle fáilte. I hope they enjoy their afternoon. We are now taking Commencement matters, which is an opportunity for any Senator to raise an issue, which could be local or national in nature. The Minister of State with responsibility for trade promotion, digital and company regulation, Deputy Calleary, is now entering the Chamber. He will take an issue from Senator Robbie Gallagher from County Monaghan.
