Before I call the Leader to respond, I express my gratitude to all Senators for their co-operation and kindness throughout the year. I wish the Leas-Chathaoirleach and the staff who are and have been in the recent past overworked and under-resourced a pleasant Christmas. I thank the Captain of the Guard, Mr. John Flaherty, for his courtesy and support during the past year and wish him a happy Christmas. I also wish a happy Christmas to the Superintendent; the head usher, Mr. Colm O'Rourke, and the deputy head usher, Mr. Tom Hickey, who did a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure the choreography of the visit of the Scottish First Minister, Ms Nicola Sturgeon, was successful. A lot of the time the staff of Leinster House are forgotten. I express my sincere gratitude to all of them. I hope they enjoy Christmas and that we will have a pleasant new year. I thank everybody for his or her kind remarks.
