Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

Before I call the next speaker, I take this opportunity to welcome the Minister of State, Deputy John Moloney, to the Chamber. I do so as a Tullamore woman and a neighbour of Deputy John Moloney from his native Mountmellick. I am delighted to see him in the Seanad taking this debate. I commend him on the honest and personal nature of the earlier part of his presentation. It is a measure of the kind of man he is and, indeed, an indication of the type of Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children that he will be. On a personal note, I wish him well in his Ministry because it is the first time he has been in the Seanad Chamber. I look forward to seeing much more of him here.
