John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Fianna Fail)

On my behalf and on behalf of Deputy McEllistrim I extend our deepest sympathy to the wife and family of the late TimKennelly. In a galaxy of great Kerry players, he was one of the greatest. He comes from a great sporting family and few will forget his forays upfield from deep in the Kerry defence. There will be great sadness in Kerry tonight. In that context, I also extend my sympathy to Deputy Deenihan, who was his great personal friend.
