Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

On behalf of the Government, I would like to be associated with the tributes paid by Senators to Tony O'Reilly who has given such long service. I, too, have encountered the friendly face, warm smile and helpful hand to every visitor. While Senator Norris referred to the company of the living, the appropriate proverb should be, "Saol fada chugat, a Tony."
