Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I too, on behalf of Sinn Féin, welcome Deputy McEntee to the House. It is not alone the case that she is a young Member - I understand she is the youngest Member of the Dáil – but she is also a young woman Member of the Dáil. I wish her very well.

When Deputy McEntee was elected she recorded that it was a bittersweet moment for her on the loss of her lovely father. It is never sweet in here but neither is it bitter. We all look forward to working with her and wish her the very best.
