I recall meeting KC Jones, one of the best basketball players in the world, along with Larry Bird. I also remember discovering pepperoni pizza. Those are just some of the memories I have from that period in Boston in 1988. It was there that I met the wonderful Mayor Raymond Flynn, who I met on a number of occasions since. Provincetown is one of the best places in the world. It was there that I met one of Governor Healey's great friends, Sarah Peake, and people like Julian Cyr and Jack Lewis, Massachusetts state representatives, who have forged a wonderful synergy about promoting human rights, civil rights and equal rights with the Governor and Ambassador Cronin. I welcome Ambassador Cronin again today. The Governor, Sarah Peake and Lynn Mogell have always been a beacon of hope. On our first meeting in Provincetown in 2020, Governor Healey left a lasting impression. It was at her address in a small pub called the Harbor Lounge that she spoke with passion, pride and with vision of the type of world she wanted to live in. I remember Liam McGonigle, who was the barman that day, telling me that this lady was going places. I told him he was absolutely right. Today, it is my great privilege to ask the Governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey, to address Seanad Éireann.
