Aisling Dolan (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I appreciate it. I thank all the Senators here. Students from fourth, fifth and sixth class in Cloontuskert National School are here today. They met Senator Flynn earlier. These young people are our future generation. They were finalists in VEX Robotics. This small school in the west of Ireland, located a few miles outside of Ballinasloe, competes at the highest level. I am also told that the school's students are county finalists in the football. That is very important. This school goes over and above. It is the students' last full day in sixth class. The boys and girls here from sixth class will be going to a brand-new secondary school, Clonfert College, in September, hopefully.
They are going to be starting out in life. I want to acknowledge all the schools that come to visit us here. They come on tours on their last days and see democracy in action. They got to be in the Dáil earlier for the ovation that was given. That was very important. I thank them for their time.
