Next Friday will be a special day for the Irish Cancer Society. Many fundraising events and activities will take place all over the country. For example, people can host coffee mornings where people can engage and donate. I want to highlight the importance of volunteering and the many ways to support an organisation other than just giving money. People can donate to all of the hospice and Irish Cancer Society shops located all over the country. Many organisations need drivers to bring people for treatment. This Friday is a very special day and everyone will take part. There will also be an event tomorrow in Leinster House. Volunteers are needed to act as drivers, help out in shops or make a donation. There are lots of way to help apart from making a financial donation.

I thank the Senator. She caught me off guard due to the brevity of her contribution.

The Senator made her point not just with brevity but also with efficiency, which is always good. It is much harder to convey a point using fewer words.

I concur.
