Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senators Twomey, O'Toole, Prendergast, Boyle, O'Malley, Norris, Coghlan, Callely, Mullen, Walsh, Coffey, Ormonde, Mary White and Hanafin congratulated the new Cabinet. I want to put on record my appreciation as Leader of the House to the former Chief Whip and new Minister for Defence, Deputy Pat Carey, for his courtesy and all his help in regard to the matters pertaining to Government since he became Chief Whip.
