Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. Caithfidh mé a rá go bhfuil an gliondar is mó i mo chroí inniu ós rud é go bhfuil tú tofa mar Chathaoirleach ar an Seanad.

On behalf of my family, I want to thank the Cathaoirleach for his kind words in regard to my father. Not only were they colleagues, I know he and my father were good friends. He will be delighted to see Senator O'Donovan elected today. As my colleague, Senator Paul Daly, said, this is not a day for any of us; it is a day for the Cathaoirleach and his family. I congratulate him and the his family. I hope he enjoys the day. I know he will preside over this House with fairness and integrity. I look forward to working with him, Senator Buttimer and Senator Conway-Walsh during the tenure of this House.
