David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have not had the same level of engagement that party leaders would have had with Patricia but I recognise, and we in this House all know, that she has been a very professional and committed public servant for a long number of years. The Ceann Comhairle and others have outlined the different roles that she has held in the Oireachtas. She has been a very honourable and decent public servant. I wish her well in her retirement and all the good things that she seeks to do when she leaves here. On behalf of Sinn Féin I wish her the very best.
