HIQA Review: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2025-11-27
============================================================

Alison Comyn (CC), Nominated by the Taoiseach

Before I call on the next speaker, I welcome more guests to the Visitors Gallery, two of whom I feel should be in our Distinguished Visitors Gallery. Please welcome Dr. Fiona Nic Fhionnlaoich from Shankill, County Dublin, granddaughter of former Senator, Peadar Toner Mac Fhionnlaoich, known as An Cú Uladh, the Ulster Hound. He was a Senator in the second and third Seanaid. I hope you can feel the presence of your grandfather in the great Chamber. I also welcome Julie O'Shea from Ardmore, County Waterford, guest of the usher, Paul Smith. I am sure you are being very well looked after. We have other guests of Deputy Séamus Healy. I hope you have a very enjoyable day today.
