Address by Mr. Seán Ó Neachtáin, MEP.
10:30 am
Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)
Tá áthas orm fáilte chroíúil a chur roimh Feisire de Pharlaimint na hEorpa, Seán Ó Neachtáin. Tá clú agus cáil ar Sheán, ní hamháin mar Fheisire san Eorap ach don obair áitiúil atá déanta aige mar pholaiteoir agus ar son na Gaeltachta i ngach cuid den tír.
On behalf of Seanad Éireann I welcome Seán Ó Neachtáin, MEP, to the Seanad. Mr. Ó Neachtáin has represented the constituency of Connacht-Ulster in the European Parliament since July 2002. Prior to that he was well known as a local politician and for his commitment to working on behalf of Gaeltacht areas. From 1979 to 1991 he was a member of Údarás na Gaeltachta and he was chairman of the organisation from 1991 to 1996. Our MEP will address us for 20 minutes and we will then ask a representative from each political grouping to ask questions.
