Seán Ó Fearghaíl (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)

-----acknowledge the work done by Deputy Martin. It was a clear demonstration of a positive and constructive Opposition. Our director of elections, Deputy Dooley, toured the country with Deputy Martin.

I also acknowledge the reason and dignity with which the campaign was generally conducted by people on all sides of the divide. There may have been a bit of political opportunism and some outrageous claims may have been made from time to time-----
