That is a home run. Fenway Park is rocking. I also welcome the cabinet secretaries Rebecca Tepper and Yvonne Hao to the gathering today. I also welcome the co-chair of the friendship group for America and Ireland, Deputy McAuliffe, as well as Alan Harney, John Duke, Bernie Boyle and Kitty Duke. I also welcome to the Gallery Deputies Danny Healy-Rae and McHugh. Deputy McHugh is from Donegal. He has never met the governor but canvassed for her and held up yard signs on her behalf across Massachusetts. He is up there in the Public Gallery. I also welcome Conor Healy, who is the chief executive of Cork Chamber of Commerce, and Councillor Briege MacOscar, who has been on the campaign trail with the governor. I thank the governor very much for her wonderful address. I now call on Senator O'Loughlin, who is sharing time with Senator Malcolm Byrne. They will have two minutes each.
