Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy (6 May 2014)

Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome the Clohessy family to the Visitors Gallery. It is great to see so many of the family today. I am delighted to be a part of these expressions of sympathy to the late Peadar. I had a quick look back. Peadar was born in 1933. People referred to his connection with the GAA.

Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome Mr. Moran and his colleagues. I take the opportunity to commend him for the work he has done to date, but I must admit that I am somewhat intrigued as to why he is leaving the Department of Finance.
