Before I call on the Leader to outline the proposed Order of Business, I welcome Councillor Gary Prior from County Leitrim. He is most welcome with his guest, Mr. Seán Earley, who is chairman of the GAA club and chairman of about everything in Aughnasheelin, by the sounds of it, over the past number of years. He was outlining that he was at his first political meeting in a schoolhouse in 1973 at 17 years of age and he has been involved in all community events ever since. I thank Gary for bringing Seán here today and hope he enjoys his day in Seanad Éireann. Anois, the Leader on the Order of Business.
