John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

On behalf of the Progressive Democrats, I join in the vote of sympathy on the passing of the former Senator, Louis Walsh, express our sympathy to his sons and daughters and record the national contribution he made to politics and the legal profession in which he was someone of long standing. As county registrar for Donegal he played a key role in the legal life of the county. It is appropriate that the Seanad should mark his passing. We extend our sympathy to his family and party colleagues.
