Jim Higgins (Fine Gael)

Aontaím go hiomlán leis an méid atá ráite ag chuile dhuine ós rud é go bhfuil tú ag éirí as oifig. Tá an moladh tuillte agat. Bhí tú i gcónaí neodrach agus neamhspleách. Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat.

I join previous speakers in paying tribute to the Cathaoirleach. He always ensured he upheld the dignity and decorum of this House. I did not know that during his term he did not have to eject any Member from the House.
