I welcome Senator Matt Harrington from the state of Maine in the US, who is a guest of the Leas-Chathaoirleach. Senator Harrington was elected last December from the 33rd district to the Maine Senate. He and his wife Lauren are very welcome. I understand he won his seat with an impressive 54% of the vote. We could all take a leaf out of his book. I congratulate him and wish him well on his trip. I hope that as part of the Leas-Chathaoirleach's state legislature engagement programme, Senator Harrington will continue to forge links with us here in Seanad Éireann.
