Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senators Fitzgerald, O'Toole, Alex White, Harris, McCarthy, Ó Murchú, Donohoe, Ormonde, Twomey, Feeney, Doherty, Callely, Healy Eames, Mullen, Coghlan, Regan, Hannigan, Buttimer and Bradford expressed their views on the local and European elections. I do not think there was any mention of the by-elections. I congratulate the two by-election candidates, lest we forget their achievements. I look forward to their joining the ranks of those who work for 100 hours a week, which I am sure some of them will find a bit of a change.
