I join my colleagues in offering condolences to the family of the late councillor, Gary Wyse, who was a friend of mine. I served on Waterford City Council for a number of years with Gary, sitting beside him for two of them. I was devastated yesterday when I received a telephone call from the city manager in Waterford informing me that Gary had passed away suddenly. He was one of the hardest working and most genuine public representatives I know and though he will be sadly missed by the people of Waterford obviously he will be most missed by his family. The Wyse family has lost a son, a father and a husband. I pass my condolences to his wife, Michelle, his children and the extended Wyse family. It is a terrible loss for them and also for the people of Waterford.
