Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach
Seanad Éireann — 2020-09-18
============================================================

Pauline O'Reilly (GP), Labour Panel

As leader of the Green Party in the Seanad, I am delighted to see both of these candidates nominated. I have known Senator Joe O'Reilly for a considerable length of time, which is to say two and a half months, and in that time we have spent a good bit of time chatting together. I am delighted to see an O'Reilly nominated for the position.
Senator O'Reilly gave me some homework to do over the recess. I am delighted to say I have completed that homework and we will chat again afterwards. I wish to formally say that I am delighted to see him in this position today. I know that my colleague is keen to say a few words as well at some point today, with your permission, a Chathaoirligh.
