I move: "That Senator Jerry Buttimer be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach." I also welcome our dear friend and former Leas-Chathaoirleach, Paul Coghlan, to the Gallery. No one who has served here with Senator Buttimer or has ever watched our proceedings from afar will require any explanation as to why Senator Buttimer is more than well qualified to serve as Leas-Chathaoirleach of this House. This is all we ask of our Leas-Chathaoirleach and I know it is what we will get from Senator Buttimer.

I move: "That Senator Fintan Warfield be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach." I intend to propose that Senator Fintan Warfield be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach. Much like what has been said about Senator Buttimer, Senator Warfield would bring a collaborative spirit to the position of Leas-Chathaoirleach. I call on the Leas-Chathaoirleach, Senator Buttimer, to address the House.
