Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Thar chionn Páirtí an Lucht Oibre ba mhaith liom cur leis an fáilte roimh an Teachta Piaras Ó Dochartaigh. Ar ndóigh, is lá bródúil é dó féin, dá chlann, dá pháirtí agus dá lucht tacaíochta é a bheith tofa mar Theachta Dála. On behalf of the Labour Party I welcome Deputy Pearse Doherty and congratulate him on winning the Donegal South-West by-election. I have a feeling that his membership of this Dáil will be short-lived but that he will be around for some time in this House and I wish him well for the future.
