An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-04
============================================================

Fiona O'Loughlin (FF), Administrative Panel

I support the Order of Business as outlined by the Leader. I congratulate Brigadier General Rossa Mulcahy, a Newbridge and County Kildare native, who is to be appointed Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces on 1 June when Lieutenant General Seán Clancy will be going to chair the European Union military committee. I know Rossa very well. He is a very fine person. There are huge challenges ahead of both gentlemen, and I wish them well.
Yesterday was World Wildlife Day. I want to give a shout-out to Dan Donoher, who has done incredible work in setting up Kildare Wildlife Rescue, a sanctuary for wildlife on Grey Abbey Road. While it is based in Kildare, the sanctuary actually has a national brief and is unique in that it looks after wildlife only. I know Senator Noonan, in a former life, visited it-----
