Mo mhíle buíochas. It was me great pleasure to welcome the retired members of the Defence Forces who predominantly served in Sarsfield Barracks in Limerick. They are very welcome to Leinster House and I thank them for their many years of dedicated service to our country, especially in the very difficult and turbulent time in the history of our State. We thank and salute them for their bravery and courage. They are guests, I believe, of Deputy Cathal Berry.

Anois, I call a former member of the Defence Forces, Senator Craughwell.
