Simon Harris, TD

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Mary Banotti. Mary was a talented politician, a trailblazer and a joy to be around. She was smart, wise and funny. Mary Banotti served as an MEP for Dublin from 1984 to 2004 and was Fine Gael’s presidential candidate in the 1997 presidential election.

Ceann Comhairle, Go raibh maith agaibh as ucht bhur gcuid vótaí.

A dhaoine uaisle, a chairde, oíche mhaith agaibh go léir agus fáilte go Gaillimh. I am deeply honoured to address you this evening in Ollscoil na Gaillimh as I prepare to take on the greatest challenge of my life.

Dia dhiabh, A chairde, My dear friends, It is the honour of my life to lead this great party, our great party, Fine Gael.
