Cléireach na Dála:

In accordance with Standing Order 11(1)(d), I inform the House that Deputy Catherine Connolly is the successful candidate selected by the secret ballot for the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I now put the question: "That Deputy Catherine Connolly, who is the successful candidate duly selected by secret ballot by the Members of Dáil Éireann, be elected and do now take the Chair of the Dáil as Leas-Cheann Comhairle."
