An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-11
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I congratulate Senator Nikki Bradley on her appointment to the Seanad. It is a very proud day for her and for her family, who are from Milford and whom I met on the way in. From the Senator's contribution, I can see that she is going to hit the ground running. I can claim to be a neighbour of the Senator's. My home patch is not a million miles away from hers in Milford. It is a very proud day for all of the family and for the Senator's fiancé, who is from South Africa. I hope they have a great day. It is one day in their lives they certainly will not forget. I have no doubt that the Senator will hit the ground running.
I fully concur with Senator Craughwell's comments on the policing Act. I took it from the Minister's contribution that day that there was no impediment to an elected member of a local authority becoming chair of that organisation. I too will be seeking clarity from the Minister in that regard. Sin é uilig.
