John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

I wish to share in all the tributes that have been paid to Tony. It particularly springs to my mind that Tony was a gentleman and he was kind. While he was part of an organisation within the Fianna Fáil organisation that achieved a great deal in its time, he was a very humble man who showed how hard work, discipline and attention to detail without any fanfare can achieve so much. He was very much part of that group that achieved so much in Irish politics and in Irish life. I wish to pay tribute to Tony. Tony chose to be gentle and kind and that constitutes a tribute to him that has been remembered by all Members today. I wish to extend my sympathy to his family.
