Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)

Before I call the next speaker, I welcome Paul and Theresa Clerkin from Waterford, along with John Clerkin from Dublin and their cousin Vinny; Kathleen, Anthony and Ava; Cindy and Randy Flander; and Terance and Sue Franz from Chicago. I welcome the people from the city of Chicago, and from Iowa. My grand-uncle served as a parish priest in Iowa for 27 years, so I especially welcome everyone from Iowa. They are all guests of Senator Maria Byrne. I thank them for coming to Seanad Éireann today.
