I wish to associate my party with expressions of sympathy to the Senator's family and to his Fianna Fáil colleagues. He represented the very best traditions of public service within the Fianna Fáil party and it is proper to remember him on this sad occasion by recording our sympathy at a difficult time for those who knew him. After 93 years, he can be said to have lived a wonderfully full life which contributed a great deal to politics.
