Minister, I have been here many years and I have never heard anyone get as much praise as you have, while you are still alive. It is always good to hear praise and it is very important that people who give great service like you have done hear it from the people from all sides. It is very genuine and heartfelt praise. When people on the other side of the political aisle are giving you praise, you know that you have done a great job because it is hard earned. I now call on Senator Seery Kearney.
