Gerard Craughwell: I welcome both witnesses. I cannot take from anything my colleagues have said so far. I do not wish to go back over the same ground. I will start with Turkey if I may. I compliment the ambassador on his use of the Irish language and his wonderful singing of "Amhrán na bhFiann" at his national day. It shows a true desire to become integrated into Irish society while he is here. ...

Gerard Craughwell: I welcome the Local Authorities Members Association, LAMA, executive group that was in Leinster House today to engage in cross-party meetings on the terms and conditions of county councillors.

From 1995 to the present day, Feargal Quinn has been responsible for gatherings in my house on a Saturday or a Sunday when we sit down and enjoy the Superquinn sausages. He developed a sausage that cannot be beaten, although I do not know if my cardiologist...

Gerard Craughwell: Senator McFadden does a great job for her local area. I totally support what she is trying to do for Athlone Institute of Technology, a fine institute which I had the privilege representing for over two years. I wish her the best of luck in her quest. From time to time, all of us in public life are subject to attacks on social media. That is part of the job. I say "fair play" in respect...

Gerard Craughwell: I am certain there is no Gerard P. Craughwell with the fine physique and good looks that I have.
