Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

I wish to be associated with the tributes paid to the late Billy Kenneally. He was elected to this House in 1982 as a nominee of the Administrative Panel. I had the honour of voting for him in that election. He made a huge contribution to Irish political life and the Houses of the Oireachtas in his roles as Deputy and Senator and to Waterford city and county as a member and mayor of the council. In keeping with the Kenneally tradition his son, Deputy Brendan Kenneally, is an industrious and respected Member of the Dáil and an outstanding former Member of this House. I extend my sincere sympathy to Billy's wife, Maureen, and his family on their sad loss.
