Mary Seery Kearney (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank all our guests. In particular, I welcome Mr. Gilvarry, whom I had the great privilege of meeting last year at the graduation event for representatives at the Red Cow Inn. He was a very fine representative and I came away with a long list of tasks to do as an Oireachtas Member as a consequence of the great representation and advocacy I received that night. I note from his submission to the committee - I apologise for having missed it being read out - that he placed first on his interview panel for the Civil Service. I congratulate him on that and give him an opportunity to comment if there is anything he would like to add before I ask my questions.
