In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is deferred until tonight's voting bloc. Before we move to Leaders’ Questions, I welcome the teachers and TY students from the Salesian College in Pallaskenry, County Limerick. They are with independent Councillor Tommy Hartigan from Adare-Rathkeale municipal district, who travelled with the group as a past pupil of the school. They are most welcome. There are also a number of staff from Mallow General Hospital here with Deputy Eoghan Kenny. Deputy Cathy Bennett would like to welcome the exchange students from Monaghan and also Monaghan u3a.
