An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2024-11-06
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (CC), Labour Panel

I welcome representatives of the Oesophageal Cancer Fund, which is a national charity. Its mission is raising awareness of early detection and survival rates for oesophageal cancer. We are joined by Carmel Doyle, CEO, Dervilla Downey, Sharon Cooney and Anthony Doran. They are guests of our next speaker, Senator Martin.
I also welcome the students from County Wicklow whom I had the pleasure of meeting earlier in the corridor. I think they are from Kilcoole national school. They are very welcome with their teachers. As is customary in the Seanad, we will offer them homework off tonight and tomorrow. It is probably our last week of term. It is their first week back after the mid-term so we will give them two nights' homework off, if that is okay.
