Vacant and Derelict Buildings: Motion [Private Members]
Seanad Éireann — 2023-11-15
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

I thank the Chair. Former Senator Billy Lawless has left the Chamber. Billy was a valued colleague. As a Member of the last Seanad, I am aware of the contribution he made.
I have tried to listen to the debate from the start. There were quite a few contributors. Senator Moynihan introduced the motion and Senators Sherlock, Fitzpatrick, Cummins, McDowell, Warfield, Wall and Boyhan also contributed.
To digress slightly and address Senator Warfield, I see the Wolfe Tones are retiring. They formally announced they were stepping down.
