I join in the words of sympathy. I did not know John Naughten, but I know that every local authority member in this country works very hard and is very dedicated. This is a dreadful tragedy and a huge shock. All of us here know Denis as a very fair-minded helpful individual. We all appreciate the shock it must have been to him when he got the terrible news. I join in expressing condolence to John's wife, Breda, to Emma, Leah and Orlaith, his children, to all his relatives and particularly to our colleague, Denis, who was about to leave politics and had great plans. This is an enormous set back to him personally. Ar dheis láimh Dé go raibh sé.
