Ba mhaith liom fíor-fháilte a ghabháil leis an Dochtúir Mhic Róibín ar an ócáid speisialta seo. As a west of Ireland Senator I am particularly honoured to welcome Dr. Robinson home to Seanad Éireann. Her visit today brings back happy memories of a special day in 1993 when, as Chairman of Galway County Council, I welcomed her as Uachtaráin na hÉireann to the county hall. It goes without saying that we are particularly proud of her achievements as an academic, a barrister, a politician, a UN high commissioner and as President. What advice would Dr. Robinson give to us as parliamentarians on the main human rights issues that we ought to pursue nationally and internationally in the coming five years? What does Dr. Robinson regard as her most significant achievement in her long and distinguished career?
