Chris Andrews (CC), Labour Panel

There is a vote on now.
The Minister of State, Deputy Troy, is paired, so we are going to take him next.
While we are waiting, I welcome Camila Alejandra Blanco, who is from Florida and is interning here with Senator Joe O'Reilly. She is very welcome. I hope he is looking after her well and bringing her in to the Members' restaurant every day for lunch, as is the custom for interns. I have no doubt he is. Ms Blanco is very welcome and we wish her the best in her studies and work experience.
I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Troy. Is he still celebrating or is he quiet on the football today? Next up is Senator McCarthy.
