-----retire from public office, but hopefully not public life. She has been a great advocate for her county and community throughout her public career and was also a great advocate during her time at community level. I am sure this will continue. We had many long meetings when she was the Minister in charge of the decade of commemorations, which has been a huge success, in the run-up to 2016. This presented many challenges but, as Minister, she rose to them and explained how we could remember and reflect in an inclusive way and ensure this would be done respectfully. I wish her a long and happy retirement from public life.
