Election of Cathaoirleach
Seanad Éireann — 2022-12-16
============================================================

Rónán Mullen (IND), National University of Ireland

I thank the Acting Chair. I have a few thoughts I would like to offer. I would very much like to start by saying how glad I am to see Senator Norris here today. I know I speak for everybody on that much. When I go home at weekends I go through Ballinasloe sometimes. A long way out from Ahascragh there is a place called the Horse Block. There is a reflector sign there to tell people there is a T-junction and they see it at long way before they get there. I think about the Horse Block when I am walking in the direction of the Dáil Bar because a long way out from me I see a portrait of very fine legislator. I know exactly who that portrait is of because I can say I had some part in getting it into the Houses.
