Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach

============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

On a personal level, I congratulate Deputy Harris, his wife, Caoimhe, his family and his supporters. Particularly for Saoirse and Cillian, this will be a day they will remember differently as time evolves. It is a very special moment for them and for Mary and Bart as well. We all know that nobody can succeed in making a real impact in our public life by themselves. Just as the tough times are shared, so too are moments such as these. I wish Simon's family the greatest enjoyment of this moment and of this day. I have no doubt that in the immediate aftermath, things might get a bit more challenging and rockier.
I wish Simon well. This is a special day for him. I look forward to a constructive and effective co-operation in the time ahead. Go raibh míle maith agaibh agus go n-éirí an t-ádh leat.
