Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Time has been set aside for expressions of sympathy for the late Sir David Amess MP. We were all profoundly shocked to hear of his death and the manner of it last Friday. He spent more than half of his life in the House of Commons and the tributes from all sides within that House and outside it confirm how popular and well-respected he was. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his wife Julia, his son and his four daughters. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. Tuigim go bhfuil daoine ag iarraidh cúpla focal a rá.
