Seanad debates

Friday, 4 July 2003

I echo what the Cathaoirleach said about the Editor of Debates, Liam Fitzgibbon, who has retired. Mr. Fitzgibbon laboured in these Houses for more than 30 years. Since 1996, he has been in charge of the Debates Office. I understand people go to editors and endeavour to get the Official Report changed from time to time. It never struck me to do that. If I say something, that is the end of it. We cannot take away from or add to it. I never trod into those rooms to ask if something could be changed. I was often sorry I said something but I would leave it on the record because it was said in a public Chamber. Liam Fitzgibbon is well known and highly respected by all Members and staff, and he has that excellent record of service behind him.
