Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

I share Deputy Hogan's delight in the release of Fr. Michael Sinnott. I thank those who have helped to ensure his release, including in particular my colleague, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and our ambassadors. Fr. Sinnott's family is certainly relieved that he is free and it was wonderful to see him in such good fettle despite his captivity. Our officials are liaising with his family to ensure a safe reunion.

An environmental liability Bill will be introduced this session.
