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

Lorraine Clifford-Lee (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on his great victory here today. Many of our colleagues have made reference to his political career but I would like to stretch back to before that political career and make reference to his reality television career. Some in the House may not know that the Cathaoirleach was in "Treasure Island" on RTÉ, which was the far more innocent precursor to "Love Island".
