Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I take this opportunity to welcome former Senator Jillian van Turnhout to the Public Gallery. I thank her for being here and for her service to Seanad Éireann. She was a formidable Senator. I was recently talking about legislation that she was involved with on banning smoking in cars while children are present, which sounds like a rather minor matter. However, it took two and a half years to pass that legislation. She brought that forward with the former Senator and doctor, Professor John Crown - he had a long title when he stood up in the morning. At the time, it was only the fifth piece of legislation passed by an Opposition Senator, which was quite an achievement. I thank Jillian van Turnhout for all her service. I call Senator Murphy.
