I want to put on record the successful Cycling Ireland road national championships, with men's and women's time trials (TT) across all categories, including juniors, under-23s, elite and paracycling, that took place in Limerick last weekend. I begin by congratulating Newcastle West Cycling Club and Cycling Ireland for organising safe and challenging races across all the categories, leading to worthy winners in all the races. I pay tribute to the winners and to their success. To be successful in cycling requires discipline in all aspects of your life and dedication to put in the necessary hours and hours of training in hail, rain and sun. Obviously, as we live in Ireland, that training is done mostly in hail and rain, sometimes complemented by wind.

In particular, I congratulate the winners from the North on their success over the weekend. Dean Harvey, who won the under-23 men's road race, cycles with Trinity Racing but began cycling with VC Glendale in west Belfast. I know that that club will be particularly satisfied with Dean's success. Another local club that helped to produce —.

Order. I apologise, Mr McGuigan, but I must interrupt you and ask you to resume your seat. It has been brought to my attention that we do not currently have a quorum, so I ask that the Bells be rung. You can continue, Mr McGuigan, while that is happening.

Notice taken that 10 Members were not present. House counted, and, there being fewer than 10 Members present, the Speaker ordered the Division Bells to be rung. Upon 10 Members being present —

You can continue, Mr McGuigan.

OK. I was about to congratulate and pay tribute to another club from the North that will be delighted with the results over the weekend, namely Island Wheelers from Coalisland, which has shown that dedication to promoting youth cycling can certainly produce amazing results. Amazing results for that club, but particularly for the Rafferty family, who are leading the way in cycling. I pay tribute to and congratulate Aliyah Rafferty, who came second in the junior women's time trial, and I also congratulate her brother Adam, who won the men's under-23 time trial championship at the weekend.

In particular, I pay tribute to and congratulate Darren Rafferty for his success in winning the men's elite road race championship at the weekend. Darren is now a professional cyclist, plying his trade across the Continent and doing great things. As Irish national road race champion, he is following in the footsteps of some of the greats of our sport here in Ireland. I have no doubt that he will do Irish cycling proud in the rest of this season, next season and in his racing career across Europe, wearing the illustrious Irish national cycling jersey. I wish him well in that.

Thank you. Apologies for the disruption, Mr McGuigan.
