Frank Feighan (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome our new colleague, Senator Pippa Hackett. It is a great honour to come through the gates to either House of the Oireachtas. I pay tribute to her colleague who has gone to the European Parliament. She is hugely respected in all parties. I wish Senator Hackett all the best.

I condemn outright the attack on the property of my colleague, Deputy Martin Kenny, last Sunday week. The attack was deeply serious and a sinister development. An attack on an elected Member is an attack on all society. I know the House will join me in condemning outright the attack on our colleague, Deputy Martin Kenny.
