I wish to convey the sympathy of the Fianna Fáil group to Senator Imelda Henry on the passing of her mother and also to the family of former Senator Éamon de Buitléar.

I agree with the Leader wholeheartedly. Today is not a day for business as usual regarding the political sparring that goes on from time to time in this House. Like all of us and all the people we know, including our families and friends, I am disgusted and horrified at what can only be described as one of the most callous murders of a young Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, a family man and someone who spent his life not only protecting us as a member of the Garda, but who was also heavily involved in his own community in County Louth in his local GAA club and in the school. The earnest wish of all of us today is that the perpetrators of this disgusting crime are brought to justice and that the full powers of the law are vested against them. It is my wish that they never see the light of day again.
