Election of Cathaoirleach
Seanad Éireann — 2020-06-29
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank Senator Blaney. I also thank him and his family for their long service to the State and for his vision of a shared island, with which I agree. The language of politics is important and the words "united Ireland" spark fear in the hearts of many in Northern Ireland because they do not know what that would look like. The new unit in the Department of the Taoiseach is something we all welcome.
I call Senator Eileen Flynn.
