I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on being selected as Chair of this committee. As Deputy Byrne said, it is probably one of the more interesting committees. I look forward to attending and contributing to it.

Prior to becoming a TD, I was a history teacher and have an interest in history, the arts and culture. I also played football at AUL and MSL levels. We actually beat Nenagh AFC in the semi-final of a Munster junior cup back in 2006. Before Coachford won the Munster junior cup this year, we were the last Cork team to win it so we had a competitive interaction with Nenagh on our way to lifting that trophy many years ago.

I look forward to contributing to the committee. As Deputy Byrne said, it is one of the more interesting committees and covers a wide variety of issues. I hope that will keep attendances up.
