I wish to be associated with the Senator's remarks and offer sympathy to the family of the late Con O'Leary. He was a formidable politician and an illustrious character. I was away last week and missed his funeral. The Senator is right that he served the people on the north side of Cork city with distinction in his own unique way. He had a wonderful shop, an emporium with everything in the world you could want. We sympathise with his family.

I welcome to the Gallery the students from Johnstown bunscoil in Cabinteely, not Glenageary. We had students from a Johnstown school here earlier but they were from Glenageary. The students now with us are from Cabinteely. They are very welcome. Cuirim fáilte roimh gach duine. I hope that as part of their visit, they might get off homework tonight to celebrate their visit to Leinster House.
