Ifac visitors and speaking order

Summary

The Chair welcomed senior executives from Ifac to the Gallery before moving to Senator Hackett. A brief dispute arose about the speaking order, but the Chair confirmed Hackett would proceed next.

I must interrupt at this point to welcome to the Visitors Gallery Ms Mary McDonagh and her fellow senior executives from Ifac, which is a friend of the farming community and an integral part of rural Ireland. It provides an enormously professional service to our farmers and a support to our rural communities and, by extension, our small urban societies around the country. They are an appropriate delegation in the present context. They are accompanied by our distinguished and esteemed colleague, Senator Ahearn. I welcome Ms McDonagh and her colleagues.

I call Senator Hackett.

Senator Boyhan was only indicating to me in case I missed him. Senator Hackett may proceed.
