Johnny Brady (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

As we now know the date of the election, I would like to wish Deputy Michael D. Higgins well. It was a pleasure to be in his company on many an occasion and it was always a pleasure to listen to him speak in the Dáil. Whatever the future holds for him, whether he will end up down on the farm or in the Phoenix Park, if I am still in the House, I might call in to him for a cup of tea.
