Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

A Cheann Comhairle, I am pleased that you have given me the opportunity to sympathise on behalf of the Fine Gael Party with the Green Party's severe loss and what must be a tragedy for Mr. Hamilton's family. To lose someone at any stage in their life is always a tragedy but to lose someone so young is very difficult to take and our sympathies are with the Green Party and with the family.
