I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on his appointment. I am a Sinn Féin TD for Louth, based in Drogheda, which is the largest town in the county and will be the next city of the country. I am delighted to be on this committee. I come to it with various levels of experience. I sat on the board of the Droichead Arts Centre in Drogheda for a number of years and, as I have three degrees in music, I am particularly interested in that aspect. Anybody who knows me knows that my main interest is sport and football, particularly the League of Ireland. I served on the national league committee of the FAI for a number of years and I am currently the only female chairperson of a League of Ireland club, at Drogheda United FC.

I am looking forward to working with everyone. May the work commence.
