Andrew Doyle (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy McConalogue for his sincere best wishes. I hope we can continue to have a cordial, if sometimes robust, exchange. I apologise on behalf of my colleague, the Minister, Deputy Michael Creed. He drew the short straw and is on a trade mission in the United States and Mexico. I got the more important weekly job, where we engage with our colleagues across the floor. This is my first time taking all the parliamentary questions, so if my timing is not perfect, the Ceann Comhairle might give me a little bit of latitude.
