Mark Daly (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Just before Senator Higgins responds, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitor's Gallery the family and friends of the late former Deputy Bobby Aylward. He was a great friend of all of us in this House and of all of the staff and Members of the Oireachtas. We had many great conversations with him. We really enjoyed the by-election campaign in Kilkenny when we were fighting for the seat he won back. We always enjoyed the hospitality we received in Kilkenny from his family. He is being remembered in Dáil Éireann today and we join in that remembrance in Seanad Éireann as well.
