Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a dhéanamh leis an Aire, an Teachta Ó Cuív, as ucht an post nua atá faighte aige. Tá mé cinnte n-éireoidh an t-ádh leis agus go ndéanfaidh sé jab den chéad scoth ina Roinn nua.

Táim cinnte go n-éireoidh an t-ádh leis agus go ndéanfaidh sé jab den chéad scoth ann.

First, I strongly support the changes being made today, particularly the realignment of both responsibilities and Departments' functions. From a policy perspective, today's announcements were of substance. I have listened to many speeches in the House from the Opposition side that have been rather superficial and shallow.
