Before I call the next speaker, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery, and rightly they are there, retired members of our Defence Forces. I can see from their badges that they all served with the United Nations. I thank them for that service. They are all from Cork and Midleton. Quartermaster Tommy McCarthy brought them here today.

Before I propose that the Order of Business be agreed, I welcome the boys and girls from Kilrane National School in County Wexford. They are guests of the Ceann Comhairle, Deputy Verona Murphy. They are most welcome to Seanad Éireann today. I thank them for coming in. I love the colours, and I hope they will back in Croke Park soon.

I welcome, all the way from Hawaii, State Representative Amy Perruso. Amy, you are most welcome to Seanad Éireann today. Amy has just gone through a torturous session, which, I believe, finished a few weeks ago. The session there starts in January and finishes in May, after which state representatives go back to their other full-time job as well as that of legislator. Thank you, Amy, for coming all the way from Hawaii to visit Seanad Éireann.

When is it proposed to sit again?

Is that agreed? Agreed.
