Welcome to Senator Hackett
Senator Leyden warmly welcomed Senator Hackett, then sparred with the Chair and Senator Buttimer over the House’s role in her election. The exchange was light and procedural, with no separate substantive matter.

-----and leadership of the Fianna Fáil Party. I welcome Senator Hackett's husband and two beautiful children to the House. I wish her every success for a great career here in the future. I want to see her bringing the issue of climate change into this House and reminding the Taoiseach that there are no pluses to climate change.

It is a pity the Senator was not here when Fianna Fáil was in government.
