I am sure the Cathaoirleach will indulge me if I extend my good wishes to people in east County Galway who were devastated last night when a mini-tornado came in over the River Shannon and struck Clonfert. Many farm buildings were demolished and trees uprooted in the area. Headstones in the historical Clonfert Cathedral were also uprooted and farm animals lost, although thankfully lives were not lost. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected. The Coughlan family in Clonfert is particularly traumatised as the family home was severely damaged. It puts everything into perspective to learn of the devastation that took place in a period of four minutes.

The House should debate a number of emerging scams, particularly online. People are being conned out of significant amounts of money.

The Fine Gael manifesto is the greatest scam of all.

The Senator has already spoken.

I would like to speak again. It may be the last chance I have to do so.

Please allow Senator Michael Mullins to continue, without interruption.
