It is dangerous. Senators Gallagher and Conway raised the issue of shopping locally. Senator Gallagher raised the issue of the precarious position of businesses in the Border area in the context of Brexit. If all of us, including those watching and listening at home or sitting in the Public Gallery, could shop locally rather than going online to Amazon and so on, it would be a huge help. I do not want to incur people's wrath.

Senator Humphreys raised the issue of the debate on the Microbeads (Prohibition) Bill 2019 yesterday. I thank all involved in that.

Senator Byrne raised the very important issue of the plight of Limerick FC and football at Markets Field. There was a very probing piece in the news at the weekend regarding the continuation of soccer in Limerick. We have had a very long tradition in football in Limerick. I implore all involved to sit around a table to ensure that soccer continues in Limerick.

In his usual colourful way, Senator McDowell has tried to blame the Government for the seagull situation. I am not sure that the Minister of State, Deputy Moran, could help him with the seagulls in St. Stephen's Green without employing means which I will not mention.

He would have a shot at it.

I am happy to refer the matter to the OPW.

He is a great man for putting on his waders and sorting things out.

He is indeed.

Senator Gavan raised the matter of human rights in Bahrain in the context of two people who are threatened with execution on Christmas Day. As I said before, there is a need for us, as a Government, to be very proactive with regard to human rights around the world and not to sell our soul for business. I have a very simple view on that. We must get the balance right. We should never recoil or withdraw from promoting human rights and calling people out. I agree with the Senator in this case. Bahrain's policy on human rights in unacceptable and leaves a great deal to be desired.

Senator Paddy Burke raised the issue of the renewal of driving licences. He makes a very good point and I would be happy for the Minister to come to the House in the new year.

Senator Colm Burke raised the issue of medical negligence and the increased costs. The Joint Committee on Health that I chaired and of which he was a very valuable member did some work on that. It is a source of concern and I would be happy for the Minister to come to the House in the new year.

Finally, mar fhocal scoir, I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and the Cathaoirleach for their stewardship of the House, as well as the Acting Chairmen. I wish the Cathaoirleach a very healthy 2020 and the same to the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I thank the Acting Chairmen for their strong role in the House and note they always helped to keep the debate flowing.

I welcome the Minister for Finance to the House. He is in the Visitors Gallery.

I thank all the people in the Seanad Office led by Ms Bridget Doody and Mr. Martin Groves, our Clerk, for their courtesy, professionalism and good humour even in the face of adversity and tension and for the very good advice they give the Chairs, who sometimes might not listen to them.

That is outrageous. We always listen.

I wish them a very peaceful and joyful Christmas. They are the unsung heroes of this Upper House. I thank the men and women who work in the Oireachtas, in particular the men and women who record and tape us, and turn our microphones on and who make us look much better than what we are sometimes. I thank them for their unstinting professionalism and their ability to work very late in the night without ever grumbling and complaining. May they all have a very positive and happy Christmas.

I thank the ushers, the catering staff and the people who work in the Bills Office, the Library and Research Service and in particular the Captain and acting Superintendent, John Flaherty, for his courtesy. I thank the members of my staff, Orla Murray in particular for her tremendous work in the Leader's office. I thank in particular the Members of the House and their staff for their co-operation and courtesy. Even at times when the going gets a bit difficult, we always manage to smile and have an ability to walk away and to have a deoch or a conversation that is not about politics.

I was struck by the fact that this is the last meeting of the Seanad of this decade and perhaps of this Oireachtas. We may not be back.

The decade ends next year, by the way.

The Leader will have to correct the record on that.

Does the Leader have some information?

I wish all the Members and their families a happy, safe and joyful Christmas and a prosperous new year. Christmas is the tenderness for the past, the courage for the present, and the hope for the future. May all here have a great rest and we will see them all, please God, back in January.
