John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

I also wish to join in the expressions of sympathy on the death of David Molony. The great loss is to Eve, David's sons, Conor and Patrick, and his brothers and sisters. On North Tipperary County Council, in the Seanad and the Dáil, he served the people of Thurles, County Tipperary and Ireland well. He continued this service to the people, by choice, after he left Parliament to run a fine solicitor's practice in Thurles. The people of Thurles and his family will miss him dearly. I extend my sympathy to them.
