Before we commence, I congratulate the Minister for Finance on his appointment and wish him well in office. We will be as vigilant as possible in keeping an eye on what he is doing. The Minister comes to his office with a great reputation inside and outside the House and I am sure he will bring great skills to bear on his work.

I also welcome the Minister for Finance. He travelled the world in his last post and I hope he has as much fun travelling the highways and byways of the tax code in his new office. We look forward to having a positive working relationship with him. I wish the Minister luck in his job.

Like previous speakers, I welcome the Minister. I do not know if he has found a geographical analogy for his new post, though Switzerland might be a good one. I hope we will have a positive working relationship in the coming months.

I congratulate the Minister and offer him good wishes in his new post. We will get on with the business.

I am grateful to the Deputies who wished me well and I look forward to being kept busy by all sides.
