Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I join with Deputy Rabbitte in recording our concern and sympathies. The search for Mr. Pat Colfer resumed this morning. Unfortunately, efforts to resuscitate Mr. Myler failed and he was pronounced dead at Wexford General Hospital at midnight. Although Mr. Ian Tierney is being treated for hypothermia, hopefully he will recover today. We send our concerns and sympathies to those who have been affected by this tragedy.

The Abbotstown sports campus development authority Bill will be published shortly.
