Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

On behalf of my party, I extend our deepest sympathies to the family, colleagues and friends of the late Professor Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin. There is no doubt his life, his talents and, in particular, his sharing of those talents with many generations enriched the spirit and the stock of our nation. As a consequence, we are diminished as a nation by his passing. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Tá laoch imithe uainn agus go ndéana Dia síoraí ar a anam uasal.
