Caít Keane (Fine Gael)

Os rud é go bhfuil an Seanadóir Ó Clochartaigh ag éisteacht liom, ar an lá deireanach den téarma seo, tosóidh mé le cúpla focal Gaeilge. Ní iarrfaidh mé aon cheist deacair ar an Cheannaire inniu. I began my career as a Senator with a few words of Irish and I wanted to begin my final contribution before the summer recess in the same way. Senator Ó Clochartaigh requested that we might all try to utter a little bit of Irish and that is what I am doing.

I do not intend to put any difficult questions to the Leader so he will have an easy time of it.
