I second Senator Crown's proposed amendment to the Order of Business.

I join colleagues in sending my best wishes to Bernard Hand. Since the day I became a Member of this House, he has been very courteous, polite, unassuming and helpful. I thank him for that. As has been stated here by other colleagues, he is an avid GAA fan. I understand he got his love for the GAA from his late father, Benny, who was from a quiet village in County Monaghan called Scotshouse. The people of Scotshouse are very proud people who love their GAA. They are just unfortunate in that they are on the Cavan border and nearly made it as far as becoming Cavan people. Bernard always had a great interest in Cavan GAA and would regularly ask me how we were getting on. It was not very difficult to answer that question because it was only asked about once a year or twice a year at the most. Things are improving and we are getting there. Bernard always reminded me that his father was a great Cavan supporter in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. We look forward to the day when Bernard not only has Dublin to support but will be able to go back and support the Cavan team in the not too distant future. I wish him and his family many years of happiness and join other colleagues in wishing Senator Norris the very best on receiving an honorary doctorate tomorrow from Trinity College Dublin.

Could the Leader arrange a debate with the Minister for Defence on the Defence Forces?

I support Senator Crown's amendment to the Order of Business in respect of No. 59, which concerns the healthy living Bill.

Bernard Hand has been a joy ever since I came in here. He has been a joy to meet and has been a joy to anybody he has shown around this House because he has not just shown people around the Houses of the Oireachtas as part of his job, he has done it with enthusiasm, interest and a love of the place and its history. We are going to miss him but we assume he will drop in on a regular basis in the future. I thank him for those years of service he has given us.

As we heard earlier on today, we have had some very good tourist numbers. However, during the week, the US Government issued advice to its citizens warning them to be careful about where they travel. I want to make sure we take whatever steps we can to ensure that there is no fear among Americans who are thinking of coming here and that they feel very safe in Ireland. We hope they do. I am not sure what we must do about it and how we draw attention to it. I know that ISIS has included Ireland in a list of 52 countries it is unhappy with.

However, we should work on the issue and do something about it. I am sure the Irish tourism industry is already working on that and doing whatever needs to be done.
