Rory Kiely (Fianna Fail)

I would also like to be associated with the tributes to the late Mr. Belton, who served with distinction in both Houses. He was elected to the Seanad on the administrative panel. I had the privilege of knowing him and the honour of serving with him and found him kind, gentle and a wonderful personality. He was humorous and had a wide circle of friends in this House across the political spectrum. I extend my sincere sympathy to his wife, Lil Belton, and his sons and daughters on their sad loss.
