Ann Phelan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I very much welcome Deputy Bobby Aylward to the House. I am delighted to be here today to say that because as Members can see demonstrated by the other Deputies, we are one big happy family across Carlow-Kilkenny. I soldiered previously with Bobby. I know that we can certainly do business together. It is a wonderful day for his family. I would not like to take away from that in any way. I wish him the very best of luck; well done.
