Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

On my own behalf and on behalf of the Green Party, Comhaontas Glas, I pay respect to the venerable memory of Mr. Tom Fitzpatrick. Tom Fitzpatrick will be remembered as a great Clones man, a great family man, a great legal man, a great statesman and a great Irishman. Ní raibh aithne rómhaith agam air, cé go raibh clú agus cáil air i gcónaí mar iar-Cheann Comhairle, chomh maith le polaiteoir le blianta fada. Ba mhaith liom mo chomhbhrón a chur in iúl dá bhean chéile uasal, Carmel, dá chlann, dá chairde go léir agus don Teachta Kenny, ceannaire Fhine Gael, agus don pháirtí. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
