-----so today is about resigning from one important office while continuing to hold another.

On my behalf and on that of the Fianna Fáil Party, I extend best wishes to you, Fionnuala, Aoibhinn, Ferdia, Naoise and the rest of your family. I hope you will have many years ahead in which to enjoy the comfort of a large circle of friends, a strong community and a passionate interest in our country's future. Go raibh míle maith agat.
