Eileen Flynn (Independent) | Oireachtas source

Oein has kindly agreed he will go first in the next round because it is really important we give politicians and members of the committee the opportunity to come in before lunch. I thank all the politicians here, from Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, the Greens and Labour. I have good relationships on the committee and their hearts are in the right place for change. I see my two colleagues, who are not part of the committee but are very passionate about Traveller rights, Senators Ward and Clonan. They are very welcome. Deputy Wynne is also very welcome. It is great to see the representation of Senators and TDs.

We will open the floor to them and start with our very new Senator. I have forgotten his name. It is Senator Mal O'Hara from the Greens. He is very welcome and I look forward to working with him in future. He is fairly new, so it is okay I forgot his name.
