I announce that on 20 February 1987 the Taoiseach nominated

Paddy O'Toole,

and

Nuala Fennell

with their prior consent, to fill the casual vacancies in the number of nominated Members of Seanad Éireann caused by the election to Dáil Éireann of Jimmy Deenihan and Brendan Howlin.

All we can do is wish them luck.
