Transcript
As we come to the end of the current Dáil term and head into the summer recess, I extend to all deputies my gratitude for your cooperation. On behalf of all the members, I'd like to thank Elaine Gunn and her large team for their support and their hard work. I'd like to thank the last Comhairle and my deputy chairs also, who make it possible for me to carry out all the other duties, to John Walsh and his staff in the dining room, to Darren Brady and the members and his staff, Alan Ruanne and his team of ushers, and all those who assist us here in Leinster House. I'd like to thank my own staff in Wexford for their valuable support, my private secretary here, Gill Gray, and Barry Ryan, head of security. So even though the Dáil is not sitting, I know that the TDs will continue to represent their constituents, and I hope that you also make time to enjoy the company of your family and friends. It's very important to come back refreshed. So I look forward to seeing you all in September, revitalised and ready for the autumn term.
