I thank Ms Demetriou for her powerful address. Today is the 158th birthday of William Butler Yeats. Ms Demetriou stands here on the centenary of his winning the Nobel Prize for literature. The students to which she referred are from Leckaun National School in County Leitrim. The boys and girls are very welcome. They have just heard the address by Ms Demetriou, President of the House of Representatives, the Parliament, of Cyprus. In keeping with tradition, can I give the students a no-homework week as we head towards the end of the school term? It is important to recognise the importance of that.
