Carol Nolan (Laois-Offaly, Independent) | Oireachtas source

John Bruton was a man of faith who lived his Christian values in his personal and private life but he was also a committed and dedicated politician of principle. Today, we honour John Bruton's memory and legacy. I want to pay my deepest respects. I extend my condolences and offer solidarity to his wife Finola, to our Dáil colleague Richard, and to all of his family, his friends and the Fine Gael Party. We pray for their comfort and strength. John Bruton will be remembered as a formidable servant of this nation and of peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
