I want to thank you for allowing me in for a few moments. I wasn't scheduled to speak, but the loss of Auston Currie, as many of my colleagues have said here, is a tremendous loss to Ireland. My sympathies go to the family. It is such a pity that we don't have more people like Auston Currie now working in Northern Ireland who had nothing but peace in their minds and in their hearts and in everything they do. And as my colleague Senator O'Sullivan said, they didn't need guns to do it. They didn't need bullets to do it. They did it with language, with talk. And we need those voices now louder than ever in the north of Ireland. And that's all I have to say. Thank you very much for letting me in Currie. I appreciate it.
