Before I start I wish to express my sympathy to the families of the late Liam Clancy and Ciarán Mac Mathúna. They were two great icons of Irish arts in their broadest sense. I convey sympathy on my own behalf and on behalf of the Government. They were two fantastic people and we mourn their passing. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anam dílis.

I would also like to be associated with those expressions of sympathy. Ciarán Mac Mathúna was a constituent of mine and a very well regarded and well respected traditional music person as was Liam Clancy.
