Senator Leyden very graciously wished the new Bishop of Elphin, Dr. Kevin Doran, welcome and Godspeed to his predecessor, Christopher Jones. I would like to join with these wishes given that he is also the new Bishop of Ahascragh. Two parishes in Galway are part of the Elphin diocese, Ahascragh Caltra and Ballygar in Newbridge. We could have had a session of the Seanad because the Seanad was well represented in Sligo on Sunday. Senators Henry, Susan O'Keeffe, Comiskey, Leyden and myself were all present. In fact there were more present than in many a debate in the Seanad.
