Thanks Bertie for Everything

I admit I shed a tear or two this morning and a number of people have made emotional phone calls to my office this morning.

All I can say is thanks for everything Bertie. I wouldn't have been selected as a Dail candidate, never mind elected in the general election, without Bertie's firm backing and support.

So I am glad I stood by him 150% and will continue to do so in his retirement to the bacbenches.

Ni bheidh a leitheid ann aris.
