Dail Éireann — 2024-12-18
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

Thank you very much, a Cheann Comhairle. I will start by congratulating you on your election. It is a great honour to serve as Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann, as the Speaker of our Parliament and as custodian of this House. I know you will serve with diligence, impartiality and decency. I think we know you are from Wexford from those opening contributions, and I know that is very important to you too. I join with you in thanking the outgoing Ceann Comhairle, Seán Ó Fearghaíl, who served for eight years with absolute distinction and brought a great sense of pride to all of us in the Houses.
