Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-23
============================================================

Regina Doherty (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I echo the Cathaoirleach's comments. We often talk about the wonderful people who work in the environs of this place we call our job, and I have always stated that there are some incredibly special people who mind us, look after us and help us every day.
Christy is an absolute gem of a gentleman. I cannot believe he is here 40 years. It is a real testament to the character he is. Not very many people can cite 40 years' service in any particular job, certainly not of my generation and younger. I wish him and Paula continued happiness and I hope they have a fabulous trip.
