Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)

Before I call the Leader on the Order of Business, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery, all the way from the state of Maryland, Delegate Ken Kerr. He is most welcome to Seanad Éireann. Ken has represented his community with distinction in District 3 and served as an English professor in Frederick Community College. He was also involved in committees on health and government operation, so if he has any advice on government operations, we would be most appreciative for any of his thoughts. He was involved in establishing the Maryland-Ireland Trade Commission, which he lifted and carried on his back single-handedly. For that, we are forever grateful. Go raibh maith agat.
