This morning we have heard of the sad passing of former Deputy Peter Mathews. On behalf of Fianna Fáil, I extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Susan and his family. This committee and the notion of increased oversight of the budget and national accounts were one of his pet projects that he enthusiastically pursued at all times. Were he a member of this Dáil he would most definitely have been a member of this committee. He is somebody who championed the role of Parliament in further scrutiny as one of the lessons of the crash. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam an-uasal.
