We have one more speaker, but first, I welcome guests of Deputy Devlin who have been working very hard in his office all week. They are welcome. They are Ali, who is all the way from the United States of America, and transition year students Max, Mark and Mary. I am sure he is appreciative of all their hard work. I thank them for coming to Seanad Éireann today.

Before I call Senator Rabbitte, I welcome the transition year, TY, group to Seanad Éireann today. They are on a study week with the parliamentary education officer. You are most welcome to Seanad Éireann and I hope you are learning a lot while you are here. I saw you in the room downstairs earlier and I know you were all heavily engaged in what you were being told.

If the Senator wants to share time, she may do so. I think there are four in that group and the Senator is on her own. She has ten minutes if she wants them.
