Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Finally, I am pleased to announce my intention to nominate Paul Gallagher SC as Attorney General. As a distinguished advocate, I am confident he will bring to the Government wisdom, experience and energy. I wish to pay tribute to the immense contribution made by the outgoing Attorney General, Rory Brady SC. I wish him every success in his resumed career at the Bar. I commend my nominations of members of the Government to the House.
