I want to add my voice and take the opportunity to wish Senator Norris very well on his retirement. As others have said, I have not had the opportunity to work directly with you, but your reputation and legacy is next to none. I do not think there is a person in this House who did not know who you were when they came in here. You have impressed others to enter politics because you have been a champion for inclusion, progress, and making society a warmer, more welcoming place for everybody who lives within it.

I would also like to take the opportunity to wish my colleague and friend, Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile, well, who has also announced his retirement. Like Senator Norris, he is a strong voice for equality and inclusion. He is a Gaeilgeoir and passionate about the Irish language. He is passionate about the Good Friday Agreement and those who live in the North. He always brought the issues to this House and made us all aware. I wish both Senator Norris and Senator Ó Donnghaile the very best in their retirement. They are both hard acts to follow, but the show must go on, as they say. Best of luck to you in the future.
