Seanad debates

Thursday, 12 September 2002

I am pleased to propose Senator Kiely as Cathaoirleach. He has been an elected Senator since 1977 except for one short period of six months. There is not a parish or a county in the country that is not acquainted with Senator Kiely. He has contributed greatly over the years to this House. He is well known in sporting and social circles. He has presided as Acting Chairman in this House on many occasions and often took the Chair when I was present in my capacity as Minister. The House will decide who is to be Cathaoirleach but I am pleased to propose Senator Kiely on behalf of my party.
