Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I too am delighted on behalf of the Independent Deputies to welcome Deputy Helen McEntee here today. We have fond memories of her late dad, the Minister of State. He was friends with all of us. It is a very poignant moment for her and her family who are present in happier circumstances today. I wish her well and offer the support of the Independents in working with Deputy McEntee during her term as a Member.
