I add my voice and that of Sinn Féin in sympathy to the family of David Amess. As his family no doubt grieve a very traumatic and sudden loss, I too hope that the well wishes and regards from this House, but also from right across the world, bring them some small comfort. To his wife Julia, his children and their wider family we send our sincere condolences. The job of public service and public representation is all about people. It is about being up close and sometimes very personal with people and so his loss sends a shock wave through not just the British system but internationally. For all of us who are proud to be elected and represent our citizens, we share in the shock of the constituents of Southend West, David's constituency, who I have no doubt are equally traumatised, shocked and saddened by his loss. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
