Séamus Pattison (Carlow-Kilkenny, Labour)

It is with sadness I would like to remember one of our reporters, Ms Breda Courtney, who died suddenly this week. Breda had been working with us in Leinster House since 1978. She was at her desk in front of me last week. I wish to express our deepest sympathy to all her family, friends and colleagues, especially her colleagues in the Debates Office.
