Fiona O'Loughlin (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I would like to express my own deepest sympathy to the family of John Connor, and indeed, to the people of Roscommon, who were very well represented by John. I also express my sympathy to the Fine Gael Party. When you lose someone who is such a stalwart and a source of huge wisdom and experience for everybody, it is a huge loss. Following the Order of Business, we will be moving a motion of sympathy.

The Order of Business is No. 1, motion regarding Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Matters Relating to the Complaints Processes in the Defence Forces, to be taken at 3.15 p.m. and to conclude at 4.45 p.m., if not previously concluded, with the time allocated to the opening remarks of the Minister not to exceed ten minutes, those of group spokespersons not to exceed ten minutes and time may be shared, and the Minister to be given no less than ten minutes to reply to the debate; and No. 2, Coroners (Amendment) Bill 2024 - Order for Second Stage and Second Stage, to be taken at 5 p.m., with the time allocated to the opening remarks of the Minister not to exceed ten minutes, those of group spokespersons not to exceed ten minutes and time may be shared, and those of all other Senators not to exceed five minutes, and the Minister to be given no less than ten minutes to reply to the debate.
