I call Senator Kevin Humphreys.

I wish to join in the tributes to my colleague, Senator Norris, and wish him good wishes from St. Andrew's resource centre. Senator Norris made Joyce accessible to many people from the inner city. People always looked forward to seeing Senator Norris at St. Andrew's on Bloomsday, which he did for many years. I have also been asked to convey the good wishes of Ger and Martha Siggins today. I congratulate the Senator. He should celebrate this and I say to him, "Onwards and upwards."

I am sure Senator Lombard will be every bit as brief.

As always, a Chathaoirligh. First, I concur with Senators in the warm wishes to Senator Norris. Thirty years and seven months is a fantastic achievement. Congratulations to him.

Since I have been so brief, I will sum up by congratulating my parish and county man, Deputy Simon Coveney, on his achievement of being appointed Tánaiste today.

Hear, hear.

I wish him the best of luck. He will do a fantastic job. It is a great honour for our part of the world, Cork. It is not only a geographical issue though. I think he will be a capable and appropriate Tánaiste in light of where we are in terms of Brexit and his foreign affairs portfolio.
