Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Ba mhaith liom mo chomhbhrón a dhéanamh le fear chéile Jo Cox, Brendan, agus lena bpáistí, Lejla agus Cuillin. Bean óg cróga macánta ab ea Jo. Tá muid go léir brónach ón uair a chuala muid an scéal dona faoina dúnmharú.

I also extend on my behalf and that of Sinn Féin sincerest sympathy and solidarity to Jo’s husband, Brendan, and her two young children, Lejla and Cuillin. I also want to extend solidarity to my friend, the leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, who has lost a talented, hardworking and gifted colleague, to Jo’s constituents and her many colleagues in the British Parliament. Jo Cox was a remarkable young woman. She would have celebrated her 42nd birthday tomorrow. She had been elected to the British Parliament only a year ago but was recognised as a dedicated activist, as a very articulate advocate for her constituency and for those issues that were important to her.

She especially made her mark fighting for the rights of refugees in Syria and those tens of thousands crossing the Mediterranean Sea to Europe from the Middle East and North Africa. She was also a committed campaigner on behalf of the people of Palestine, a compassionate defender of human rights, a believer in equality for women and a fierce opponent of racism, intolerance and injustice wherever they existed. Her murder is a devastating blow to her family and colleagues but also to the British political system agus go ndéana Dia trócaire uirthi.
