The Green Party would like to wish Deputy Jim Higgins . . . Deputy Jim Mitchell well.

- Mr Trevor Sargent (Green Party) mistakenly referring to Mayo TD Mr Higgins, sitting below him on the Fine Gael benches.

So do I [wish Mr Higgins well].

- Mr Michael Ring, Mr Higgins' Fine Gael constituency colleague.

I thank Deputy Sargent for his good wishes. I hope he is not privy to some information that I do not have.

- Mr Higgins.
