On a lighter note, my local soccer team, Boyle Celtic, has qualified to compete in the final four of the FAI Junior Cup and a song has been penned in its honour.

I do not know if the matter is relevant to the Order of Business but-----

The song has reached No. 1 on the iTunes download and left Ed Sheeran in a poor second place. The semi-final will be played on Sunday week. The club's success is great for the whole area and Boyle town.

Can the Senator give us a tune?

The Senator can download it for €1.29, if she does not mind.

I agree with my colleagues that Brexit will bring challenges. The European Medicines Agency will come to this country. I was the first Senator to highlight that it should come to the west of Ireland and to Carrick-on-Shannon. It will be great if it comes to the island of Ireland. Dublin is creaking at the seams and we must have balanced regional development.

Hear, hear.

We speak English in the west as well. We need these jobs in the west.

Not half as well as Dublin.

As well.

We speak English an awful lot better because we have our own distinguished accent in the west that is recognised internationally

People from abroad wishing to learn English can understand us because there are too many different accents in Dublin.

I call on the Taoiseach and many more, that if these jobs come to Ireland, they must do everything possible to get them past Mullingar because the west of Ireland needs high quality jobs.

Beyond Mullingar.

Has the Senator included Mullingar in his request?

One can drive from Dublin Airport to Carrick-in-Shannon in an hour and a half but it can take the same amount of time to travel from Dublin Airport into the centre of Dublin. That is one I shall make today.
