Séamus Kirk (Louth, Ceann Comhairle)

I wish to express my gratitude and thanks to the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and the panel of Acting Chairmen. It would be difficult to maintain and progress the work of the House without their assistance and co-operation. I thank the Clerk of the Dáil, Kieran Coughlan, the staff of the Houses and the political staff for their work, sometimes over very long hours.
