John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Ceann Comhairle)

Ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le Mick as ucht an mhéid atá déanta aige i rith na blianta ar son mhuintir Teach Laighean. I express my deepest gratitude to Mick for his service to the Members and staff of Leinster House throughout the past 27 years. His professionalism, dedication, kindness, courtesy and friendship are something every Member of the House and the Staff in Leinster House deeply appreciate. I wish him well in the future and we will miss him.

Let the battle resume.
