If I might, I will join with my colleague in offering condolences to the Minister, Deputy O'Donovan, on his loss. It is always a very tragic time when it comes to family.
There are a couple of issues I wish to raise. Ballygar, in County Galway, is running an event focusing on well-being and mental health. The event will feature Professor Brian Hughes, a psychologist from the University of Galway, and Teresa O'Brien. It is a great way to find out how things are going for friends and family. It is great to invite them to come along and find out what makes all our minds tick. It is on in Ballygar, at 7 p.m., in the Mattie McDonagh Centre. I encourage people to come along and check it out.
I welcome a group that is here with Senator McGreehan today. It is connected with the social enterprise fund. I want to wish well one of the attendees, Dorothy Coyle, who is a wonderful lady. Ms Coyle is part of Lough Ree Access for All, which is between Ballyleague and Lanesborough. It won funding through Rethink Ireland and the social innovation fund, but also through the lotto. It is one of the organisations to feature on advertisements for lotto. It has fully-accessible boats which can be used by people of all abilities to enjoy time on the River Shannon. It is wonderful. I would encourage and invite anyone to go and check it out. It is for anyone and everyone. It is in located in Ballyleague. It is wonderful to have Ms Coyle here with us today. I hope that whoever is in the Chair when the group comes into the Chamber will highlight their presence.
