I move that Deputy Patrick Hogan (Clare) be elected Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The House will recollect that during the past twelve months Deputy Hogan occupied the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle, and will be aware of the fact that he discharged the duties with zeal and ability, and that his decisions were marked by fairness and scrupulous impartiality. I feel that the re-election of Deputy Hogan will, with your assistance, Sir, produce the same able and expeditious discharge of the business of the House as it did during the past twelve months.
Election of Leas-Cheann Comhairle.
Question put and agreed to.
