Before moving on to the Order of Business I understand the Government Chief Whip wishes to propose that we make short statements expressing sympathy on the death of the former Taoiseach, Albert Reynolds. The statements are confined to leaders only, including the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste. I understand provision will be made at a later date for the usual expression of sympathies. I call on the Taoiseach to make a statement.
