Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy
12:00 pm
Dominic Hannigan (Labour)
On behalf of the Labour Party, I extend condolences to the wife and children of the former Senator and Deputy, Billy Kenneally, on the family's great loss. Billy Kenneally was a member of the 16th Seanad, having been elected on the Administrative Panel, in 1982 and 1983. While I did not have the honour of serving with him, from speaking to Deputies in the constituency of Waterford, I know that he was all that is good in politics. He was committed to the people of Waterford, his party and family. I have heard nothing but positive things said about him from those who knew him. I convey my sympathy to his wife, Maureen, and family but also to the Fianna Fáil Party, to which he gave great service for a large part of his life. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
