I warmly congratulate Senator Coghlan on his election as Leas-Chathaoirleach, on behalf of the Civil Engagement group. We very much look forward to benefitting from his experience and deeply felt commitment to the Seanad and what it can be. We also appreciate his commitment to working in an impartial manner. I know he has experience in terms of facilitating various voices on Radio Kerry. We hope that we will now see the voices of all of the nation, in its diversity, being facilitated in a constructive manner in the Seanad chamber. I congratulate the Senator and we look forward greatly to working with him.
