Niall Ó Brolcháin (Green Party)

I welcome my friend and colleague, Senator Mark Dearey, to the Chamber. Today is a baptism of fire for him. He is a man of great integrity and he will prove to be a great Senator over the next two and a half years. The Green Party nominees will not change during that time. I wish his daughter, Stella, a happy birthday today and I also welcome his family, friends and colleagues to the Visitors Gallery.

Senators Fitzgerald and Alex White seem to find it more important to raise the constituency representations of Deputy Sargent than to call for a banking inquiry.
