It is timely that Senator Cummins finished as a member of the labour panel because we have a former member of the labour panel here with us tonight, namely, of former Senator Don Lydon, who served as a Member of this House between 1987 and 2007. It is a timely debate as well because he served as the Fianna Fáil justice spokesperson. It is great to have him back. If any of us have the length of career he did, we will be doing quite well. Senator McDowell will speak next but I would like to emulate former Senator Lydon and be here for the next 15 years. It is great to have him here. I welcome him back to the place he worked for so long.
