Pat Casey (CC), Labour Panel

Before I call the next Senator, I welcome to the Public Gallery cousins of Senator Maria Byrne, Mary and Rose Murphy, who have travelled all the way from Cork. They will be delighted to know we have a Minister of State from Cork in the Chamber here today. I hope Senator Byrne will look after them for the rest of the day.
It is very unusual to see a current Senator and a former Minister of State whose heart and passion is in the portfolios he had.
Therefore, we look forward to Senator Noonan's contribution.
