A Chathaoirligh, ba mhaith liom mo chomhghairdeas agus mo bhuíochas a chur in iúl maidir leis an suí speisialta a bhí againn inné. I acknowledge our special ceremonial sitting yesterday. It was a thoughtful occasion and it was good to be among so many friends. I did not get the chance to say it yesterday, but it was great to have musical accompaniment to the day's events. I wonder whether we could get an uilleann piper for every sitting. Would that not be nice?

We will work on that.

Is the Senator going to give us a song?

Do not tempt me. One never knows what a new Cathaoirleach might bring to the table.

We will get the choir going.
