Before we begin, I welcome the students from St. Mary's National School. They are guests of Senator Cathal Byrne. It is lovely to see them. I hope they enjoy the rest of the day. There has been a long-standing tradition that any schools visiting the Seanad or Leinster House have no homework for the rest of the week. I am not sure whether that can stand or how the teachers will fare with it.
