Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

I also wish to be associated with the tributes to Mr. Jack Tobin, former Clerk of the Seanad. He served as Clerk and Seanad returning officer for a long number of years. He was also appointed by the then Taoiseach as the first secretary to the newly established New Ireland Forum, which signified how highly regarded he was held by the Government and the Houses as a civil servant and an officer of this House. I extend my sincere sympathy to his daughter Monica, friends and extended family on their sad loss.
