Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have only been a Member of the House for a short time but I have found Kieran to be extremely courteous, understated, very helpful, thoroughly professional and good humoured. I thank him. With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I will give way to my colleague, Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, who knows Kieran longer and, like Kieran, came to this House as a young man.
