Mr. Cuffe finished the great contemporary challenge and presented it in positive terms, in that it can affect a good and new lifestyle for us all. It is now my great pleasure to move on to Clare Daly, MEP, who is a distinguished former Member of the Dáil here.Ms Daly is a former airport worker and shop steward. She was a county councillor for many years, and all of us in this assembly know county councillors very well. She was twice elected to the Dáil from the Dublin Fingal constituency where she had a high profile on issues such as Garda reform, repeal the eighth and workers' rights.

Ms Daly has been an Independents 4 Change MEP since 2019 and sits in the Left group in the European Parliament. She is a member of a number of vital committees. I was given their acronyms - LIBE, SEDE, TRAN, INGE and INTA - and had great fun with Google identifying them as the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, the Subcommittee on Security and Defence, the Committee on Transport and Tourism and the Committee on International Trade. It is my great pleasure to invite Clare Daly, MEP, to address the House.
