Eileen Flynn (Independent)

I welcome the students from St. Cronan's Senior National School. Their visit will be the first time I can tell a group of students they do not have any homework today. It is absolutely brilliant to give them a day off from it. We hope that the students make the most of their visit. I hope that at least one of them will end up in here in the future as a politician, and maybe not in the Seanad but in the Dáil. I wish them every success. They will have no homework this evening. Enjoy the rest of your visit to Leinster House.

Before suspending, I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Cummins, to the House. Even though he did not get to reply to the Commencement matter, it is a privilege for me to see him here as a Minister of State as I served with him in this House in the last term.
