Dinny McGinley (Donegal South West, Fine Gael)

I note the departure from the community, rural and Gaeltacht affairs brief of my long-standing colleague, Deputy Ring. He was a great boss as senior spokesperson and I am left in his wake. I welcome the incoming Front Bench spokesperson, Deputy Feighan. Front benchers come and go but I seem to go on forever as far as the Gaeltacht is concerned.
