Visitors from Kiskeam
The Cathaoirleach welcomed Kiskeam National School to the Gallery and spoke warmly about the area and Seán Moylan’s legacy. Members added light remarks about local pride and football before the Chair thanked the visitors and closed the exchange.
Before I pose the question of whether the Order of Business is agreed, I welcome to the Visitors Gallery the boys and girls of Kiskeam National School, which is in County Cork. I can tell that from all the jerseys. It is Deputy Michael Moynihan's daughter's class. I welcome the Deputy bringing the boys and girls from Kiskeam.

It is part of Duhallow, with great footballing prowess.

Some of the greatest people ever came from Kiskeam, as we all know. There is not only the Deputy but also the former Senator, Seán Moylan, who served in this House. He was one of the few Senators to serve in Seanad Éireann while a Minister. He was the Minister for Agriculture in 1957. I have often been to Kiskeam for the Seán Moylan commemoration and was honoured to be there. He was one of our great Senators. When our guests are in the main hall for the Seanad Éireann 100 display they will see his picture there. He was one of the many who led this Seanad and this country. Even though he is a Cork man, his picture is in my office as well, so I invite you to my office to see it. Even the lads with the Cork jerseys will be invited in.
