I mark the passing of a wonderful lady, Moya Brennan. She was often described as the first lady of Celtic music. Moya was not just a singer; she brought the Irish language and culture, as well as Celtic music, to the world stage. She did so through Clannad initially and later as a solo artist. We all know her family from the small pub in Gaoth Dobhair, Donegal, which rose to global recognition. She showed what Irish identity could look like. Personally, Moya and her husband, Tim, were huge supporters of Tiglin, the homeless organisation. She used to sing at all of our events. I genuinely feel her generosity. Her resilience in life will be a loss for the Irish culture, but her voice will live on for generations.

On another note, I support what my colleague, Senator Boyhan, said regarding the former Minister of State, Deputy Michael Healy-Rae, who is moving on. It is disappointing as he was certainly a hard worker. We wish him well. Regarding the matter on which he resigned, I have a haulage business and I know what it is like running trucks, whether national or international, with exceptionally increasing costs. For every cent that is added to a fuel bill, that is a cent off the razor-thin bottom line. Last week, we saw people who were desperate because of the situations they are in. Most of them are ordinary, hard-working people and supporters of the Government. They are supporters of authorities. In my hometown of Naas last week, the fuel pumps were running out. Although there was a delivery that day, the pumps were still running out. They were down to the wire. It is happening because the system is not working. The ordinary citizen feels they are not being supported. They hear that Ireland is the wealthiest country in Europe but they want to make it very clear that it is not impacting them and that we cannot continue like this. They deserve to be heard.
