Jerry Buttimer (FG), Cork South-Central

Members might not be aware but today is a very sad but exciting for all of us in the Oireachtas. A great colleague and friend of ours, Aisling Hart, the private secretary to the Cathaoirleach’s office, is retiring. On my own behalf as a former Cathaoirleach and a Member of the Houses of the Oireachtas for 18 years, I thank Aisling most sincerely for the warmth of her personality, sincerity, care, kindness and professionalism, but above all, for being herself. She is one of the most genuine, nice and honest people I have ever worked with. I say “Míle buíochas” to her and thank her. She is a wonderful person who keeps the office going and keeps all of us in check. I wish her a happy retirement.
