Retirement of Cáit Hayes
Senator Buttimer paid tribute to Cáit Hayes on her retirement after 35 years of service to the Houses of the Oireachtas, and others echoed the good wishes.
I begin today by congratulating and thanking Cáit Hayes, who is retiring from the staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas. Cáit has spent 35 years working here, with distinction, in many different roles. Those of us who have got to know her over the years recognise the value and interest she had in the Parliament that is the Oireachtas, in representing us abroad and at home. I thank her most sincerely and I wish her a very happy retirement.
