Business of Dáil

Before we start proceedings, I break with tradition to extend a warm welcome to a very special cohort of young people. With the help of the Little Blue Heroes Foundation, we have four honorary gardaí looking in on us today from home and seven honorary gardaí present with us in the Gallery. Those looking in from home are Shane Hearne, Lennon Shanahan, Lucy O'Shea and Holly Carroll. Hopefully, we will greet them here another day. In the Gallery with us are Joey Moss, Hayden Smith Kirwan, Connell Dunne, Skyler Sheehan, Amelia Sexton, Jack Fitzgerald and Roisin Crowe, whom we met earlier. I thank them all for joining us today. I hope they are having a great day because they truly are an inspiration to us all. I also welcome all the other children and visitors in the Gallery. Finally, I must not forget to thank the adult gardaí who are accompanying the honorary gardaí.
