I thank the Senator for his kind words about Congressman Neal's address yesterday.

I also welcome the boys and girls of sixth class at St. Sinneach's National School in Colehill, Longford, whose local Senator is Senator Carrigy. I welcome the principal and the sixth class teacher, Ms Lavelle. I am told that Senator Carrigy's wife, Úna, teaches in the school so our guests will have to be on their best behaviour. We will pass a resolution so the students all get off homework whenever they want.

I also welcome the students and teachers from Gaelscoil an Chuilinn in Tyrrelstown in Dublin. I am delighted they were able to come to Seanad Éireann and see democracy in action. I thank them for being with us here today.
