John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)

Before calling Deputy Stanley, I acknowledge the visitors in the Public Gallery. They are all very welcome. It is good to see so many here. I also acknowledge the presence of Councillor Pat Fitzpatrick, former president of the AILG, who is attending with family and friends. Indeed, some have come from America. They are all very welcome.
