Order of Business
Members welcome Mozambican colleagues and discuss proposed nominations to the Committee of Selection; the Chair rules that the matter must be dealt with by that committee.
I join with the Cathaoirleach and other Members in welcoming our colleagues from Mozambique. They are very welcome to the House.
In respect of the Committee of Selection meeting tonight, I am sure the Leader will respond to Senator O'Brien. As leader of the Labour Party group, I am delighted that we are nominating Senator Susan O'Keeffe, who has unparalleled experience as an investigative journalist. I am delighted she will be supported by our Fine Gael colleagues as well as by myself. Speaking for the Labour Party group, I will be supporting the candidacy of Senator Sean Barrett who also has immense qualifications, experience and expertise.
