Gabhaim buíochas leis an Seanadóir. I welcome the students from St. Oliver's National School in Drogheda. They are members of the student council of the school and guests of Deputy O'Dowd. They are also in the presence of Senator McGahon, who is another Louth man from the wee county. I thank the students for their wonderful leadership and civic duty in their school and hope they have a very pleasant visit to Leinster House. The tradition and custom is that for school groups we give homework off, but I am told in some cases students have homework off for the month of June already. Perhaps if they have not got homework off they might get homework off tomorrow night for the weekend. I thank them again for their leadership.
