Order of Business
Senators welcome Korean guests, express condolences over the London murder, and congratulate Siobhan Talbot on becoming Glanbia’s first female chief executive.
I join the Cathaoirleach in welcoming our guests from Korea. I also endorse Senator Bacik's comments in regard to the dreadful events yesterday in London, which many Irish people have made their home. We should express our sympathies to the Mayor of London, Mr. Boris Johnson, and send our condolences to the colleagues of the murdered man.
I welcome the appointment of Ms Siobhan Talbot as chief executive of the Glanbia company. She is the first woman to head up a company on the major Stock Exchange list in Ireland.
Comment on this
Glanbia grew out of the co-operative movement assiduously put together by a former member of this House, Mr. Horace Plunkett. I am sure the Leader, as a man from the southeast, will be delighted to send our congratulations to Ms Talbot on her wonderful achievement.
