Text
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. I wish my constituency colleague Willie Irwin well on this, his last day in the Chamber after more than two decades of dedicated service to the people of Newry and Armagh. He has been a fearsome advocate for farmers and their families. Willie, you will be sorely missed. We shook hands in the Great Hall in front of the Christmas tree: you still have that farmer's grip. Best of luck for whatever is next. Take care.
