Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I wish to share time with Senator Mark Daly. It is always very good to follow Senator Quinn, because he is always constructive. The business expertise and knowledge which he brings to the debate and the manner in which he puts forward very thoughtful points is beneficial for the debate. I compliment him in this regard. I listened to Senator John Paul Phelan also. I have been critical of the partisanship in both Houses, as is the public. It does nothing for the image of politics, or to address the challenges we face. However, in fairness to Senator John Paul Phelan, his comments were very good and constructive.
