I was asked to a party tomorrow because there is a gentleman here who started in the Seanad in 1993. I want to say to him that this has been one of the most fortunate Senates in the world to have him as a Senator. His name is Senator Feargal Quinn and I will say a few words about him. A brilliant businessman, the king of customer service and an ambassador for Irish food, Feargal was involved at the birth of Bord Bia. A former president of the Global Consumer Foods Forum, an EU-wide lobbying group, EuroCommerce, and our favourite supermarket, Superquinn, which is still around and supplies my sausages, Feargal is the champion of small businesses and entrepreneurs. I salute Senator David Norris because Senator Feargal Quinn is champion of both small and big entrepreneurs and those who create jobs, but my-----

I will say a few words tomorrow on the anniversary.

My goodness, I am pre-empting. I only want to say I started a little business and I was not particularly great or clever. I had an idea, a dream. The first shop I called into was Superquinn in Lucan where one of Feargal's men, Mr. John Foy, gave me my first little chance behind the bakery and I went on to serve all of Feargal's 16 stores. Today my business has a turnover of €30 million and 200 employees, but it is thanks to Senator Quinn. I used to see a lot of him, although he hardly knew me. He knew me a little as a supplier but I would see him in the bakery in Finglas and over in Blackrock. It did not matter who one was, what one was or what one had, Feargal treated us all the same. A master of innovation, he was always thinking kindness and looking at opportunities. I could list all he has done here and all the Bills he has put through, but the Cathaoirleach would get quite angry with me. I salute Senator Feaqrgal Quinn and look forward to the party tomorrow.

I thank the Senator.

I thought it was for a glass of wine that the Senator was inviting Senator Mary Ann O'Brien.
