Tá orm a fhógairt go bhfuil an Taoiseach tar éis Ruairí Ó Cuinn (Ruairí Quinn) a ainmniú, le réamhchead uaidh, chun bheith ina chomhalta de Sheanad Éireann leis an bhfolúntas a líonadh a thárla de dhroim an Seanadóir Breandáin Ó hAllagáin a thoghadh ina chomhalta de Dháil Éireann.
Féadfaidh an Seanadóir Ó Cuinn a shuíochán a ghlacadh anois.
I have to announce that the Taoiseach has nominated Ruairí Ó Cuinn (Ruairí Quinn), with his prior consent, to be a member of Seanad Éireann to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Brendan Halligan to membership of Dáil Éireann.
Senator Quinn may now take his seat.
Senator Quinn then took his seat.
