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

Ba mhaith liom freisin, ar son Shinn Féin, fáilte mór a chur roimh an Teachta McFadden. I have no doubt that Deputy McFadden's victory in the by-election was a bittersweet one for her and her family. On behalf of Sinn Féin, I extend the warmest of welcomes to her and join in the sentiments expressed in relation to her late sister, Nicky, who was genuinely regarded, respected and loved right across the Dáil. I welcome Deputy McFadden. It is great to have another woman in this place and I look forward to working with her. I wish her and her family the very best.
