Before I call the Acting Leader, I also thank Martin Groves, Bridget Doody and all the team in the Seanad Office for their professionalism in recent years. We have moved from the Convention Centre to the Dáil and back to the Seanad. We really only developed the unity between us once we came back to our home here in Seanad Éireann. While it has been a fast four and a half years, they have been busy and fruitful. I wish everyone well in their campaigns for the Lower House or the Upper House. We have a busy number of months ahead.

I thank Lisa Gayson in my own office for her work in recent years. I thank my wife Laura and my children Jamie and Daniel. Politics is a family thing and we all need their support. As we all know, they sacrifice a lot.

I wish Senators Shane Cassells and Ned O'Sullivan well also. For the new team who come through to this Chamber, they will need to have the same level of wisdom as them.

I call the Acting Leader to respond.
