Pat Gallagher (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before we move on, I wish to be associated with the earlier comments of leaders when sympathy was paid to my fellow Donegal man, Manus Kelly, who died on Sunday in such a tragic and untimely way. He was three times the winner of the Donegal International Rally. Like all Members, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to his wife, Bernie; his five children; his father, Donal; his mother Jackie; his eight siblings; and the extended family. I knew Manus for years and he was a consummate professional in all that he turned his hand to, whether it was rallying, community involvement, business or politics. He had an enormous personality that radiated wherever he went.

I wish his co-driver, Mr. Donal Barrett, a speedy recovery. Ar lámh dheas Dé a anam uasal dílis.
