I thank the Leader for outlining the Order of Business.

I welcome the guests of the Minister of State, Malcolm Noonan. They are from Loreto Secondary School, Kilkenny, and are most welcome to Seanad Éireann. The unofficial rule of Seanad Éireann is that if pupils visit, they do not have homework for the rest of the week. We always try to encourage them to come on a Tuesday. If we sat on a Monday, they could visit on a Monday, but unfortunately today is a Thursday. There is to be no homework today and tomorrow.
