Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Ba mhaith liom mo chomhghairdeas a ghabháil ar son na Rural Independents do Patricia. Thirty years or more is a great service, which was done so unassumingly and effectively. No matter what the issue, she was always so friendly. I recall one occasion.

I was a buachaill dána and I had to leave the House. Patricia was advising the Ceann Comhairle, but she does it always in a very nice way.
