Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach
Seanad Éireann — 2020-07-07
============================================================

Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

Both motions on the Order Paper will be discussed together and before we debate them I acknowledge the presence of the previous Leas-Chathaoirleach, from Kerry, who is in the Distinguished Visitors' Gallery. Myself and the former Senator, Paul Coghlan, had many a row in the previous three Seanaid. These were reported widely on Radio Kerry. Most people thought we were doing it just for the publicity. We are also the best of friends and I welcome the former Leas-Chathaoirleach. I am sure Senator Jerry Buttimer will get loads of advice from him. I thank Paul for making the journey today.
