AIMS awards and Fintan Cleary

Summary

Deputy Doherty congratulated Gorey Musical Society, praised the Association of Irish Musical Societies awards, and expressed sympathy over the death of Fintan Cleary.

-----and today's announcement is very welcome.

On Senator Malcolm Byrne's contribution, I have a number of young friends who were at the Association of Irish Musical Societies, AIMS, celebration over the weekend. It is a great event every year which brings much excitement but it also brings gratitude for what they give to all our communities and societies. I congratulate the Gorey Musical Society and wish it continued success. I am sorry for the Senator's loss on hearing about the passing of Fintan Cleary and for those in the Wexford Light Opera Society.

I did not see the photographs Senator Craughwell sent me. I am sorry. I do not know whether I just missed them. There definitely should be an inspection. With any amount of money, and we know we are spending a significant amount of money with our new guests, there certainly should be a measure of quality and a uniformity of quality. I will look into it and will come back to the Senator and let him know what we can do.

I am not sure if I have the motion referred to by Senator Boylan.
