Pat Gallagher (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before I call Deputy Jonathan O'Brien, with the Ceann Comhairle, I wish to be associated with the good wishes extended to Deputies Kelleher, Fitzgerald, Clare Daly and Wallace. I am one who has been there and done that. I was, of course, homesick at the time. Both the Tánaiste and I came back. Having been there, I know that all of our MEPs will wear the Irish jersey on behalf of the people. Go n-éirí an geábh libh go léir.
