Senator Brian Hayes and others mentioned the assassination of the Prime Minister of Serbia. It was a dreadful blow to democracy and the people of that country. As the Senator spoke, I thought of Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo when he was assassinated on the eve of a war. As Senator Hanafin pointed out, the historical analogies are striking. Senator Ryan also mentioned the assassination. We send out our strongest condemnation of the murder. The implications are huge because there were clearly people who were out to get the Prime Minister. I will arrange for my office to send a message of sympathy on behalf of the Seanad.
