Joanna Tuffy (Labour)

I join the tributes to Mr. Jim Kelly. I found Jim to be friendly and helpful, as are all the ushers. They play an important role in terms of guiding Members around the House and helping us with our work. I wish Jim well on his retirement.

This morning I listened to an interesting discussion about the Seanad and Seanad reform on the Marian Finucane radio show. However, the only group in the Seanad that was not represented on the panel was the Labour Party, which was strange for a programme that prides itself on balance.
