Summer good wishes

Summary

The chair thanked the House staff and wished Members a restful summer, jokingly inviting them to Kerry and offering to show them places they may not know.

Paul Coghlan An Leas-Chathaoirleach Fine Gael

I join with the Leader and, indeed, all of the Members in thanking everybody for all the help and co-operation. I thank Martin, Bridget, all of the staff of the House and everybody who assists here. I wish all of the Members a happy and restful summer. Hopefully, everybody will come back suitably refreshed in September and looking forward to the fray and whatever will be before us.

The Government, as the House will be aware, will be in Kerry tomorrow - some of them may be there today - at the ancestral home of Daniel O'Connell. No doubt some of them will be wise enough to take a suitable break, at least for a few days, in the kingdom.

That is something I would heartily recommend to the Members.

Is it Muckross House?

Indeed, the Senators all could do with a break down there and all of them have my number. If the Senators want to see some places they did not know existed and that they never saw before in the kingdom, I will show them.
