I wish Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh well and to be associated with the comments made by Senators across the Chamber. I first met Trevor at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology when I studied film and television production in Galway, a UNESCO City of Film. I campaigned with him and the party during the February election at the time. I had been designing leaflets for the party for three years, but the Senator's election leaflet was the first of mine ever to go to print. I still keep a copy of it at home. If I recall correctly, I stayed up all night to get it to print for 9 a.m., which was probably a reflection of how well the campaign was run. I am sorry that the Senator's membership of the party came to an end and wish him every success in TG4. It is a beautiful station that knows its brand and which does extraordinary things on screen. Thankfully, it was a station that had been designed for all of the island, not just the Gaeltacht regions, as mooted at the time.
