Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)

I welcome Senator Ó Brolcháin to the House. I well remember calling to his front door and getting a grilling. It was more an interview for a job than anything else. I look forward to working with him in the Seanad on the issues we discussed on that day, including mobile phone masts, active citizenship and alternative energy. I congratulate not only Senator Ó Brolcháin and the Green Party but also his wife and family. Being part of a political family is difficult for the spouse and children, and their sacrifice in getting him to the Seanad should be noted on this day. I look forward to working with him.
