Francis O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

I join previous speakers in tributes to the late Tony Kett. Tony Kett was a gentleman. He was very kind and courteous, and it is wonderful to hear all the tributes being paid to him. I came to know Tony Kett on his rounds for his first Seanad term when he was canvassing various councillors in the different counties. He was always good humoured and full of fun. I agree with the comments about his contribution in this House, his good humour at conferences, with parties going on late into the night, but no one mentioned his dancing skills. I saw him on the dance floor and he was a very good dancer. I express my deepest sympathy to Tony's wife, Noreen, his family, his grandchild and his friends who are here. May he rest in peace.
