Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour) | Oireachtas source

On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish to be associated with the congratulations to Deputy Gabrielle McFadden on her election. It must be a time of sadness on the passing of her sister but also a time of hope due to her own election and the fact that she continues the legacy so ably carried on by her sister here. I am happy to recognise that Deputy Gabrielle McFadden's husband Brian is in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery with her mother-in-law and Ms Kate McFadden. It is a moment of great pride for them. I congratulate Deputy McFadden on behalf of the Labour Party and wish her well in the years to come as a Member of Dáil Éireann.
