Public Procurement: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2025-05-22
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank the Minister for her opening remarks. Before I call the first Senator, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery our Minister of State from Donegal, Deputy Charlie McConalogue, with his guests from the Irish Coast Guard.
They are most welcome to Seanad Éireann. He is very involved in the campaign to keep open the marine rescue co-ordination centres in Malin and Valentia. We have some skin in the game in Kerry as well. Due to the combined efforts of Donegal and Kerry, they are both still operating, thankfully, with the new equipment that was needed which the Minister of State fought hard to secure along with his colleagues up there. I thank him for his work keeping us all safe.
