Ar mo shon féin agus ar son Shinn Féin, ba mhaith liom comhbhrón a dhéanamh le clann Thomas Finlay, iarPhríomh-Bhreitheamh agus Teachta Dála, a fuair bás dé Domhnaigh. Go ndéana Dia trócaire air. Ní raibh aithne agam ar an Uasal Finlay. I did not know Mr. Justice Finlay. However, he had a long and distinguished career in public office and it is clear from the many expressions of sympathy that he was a hugely respected figure, both as a former Fine Gael Deputy, a member of the Bar, and consequently and subsequently as a Supreme Court judge and Chief Justice, and a member of the Council of State. I want to extend my sympathies and the sympathies of Sinn Féin to his family, especially his children, including Mrs Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan who was recently appointed to the Supreme Court. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
