Ba mhaith liom cur leis na nótaí comhbhróin a bhí anseo inné ar bhás Alex Reid, an sagart a rinne an oiread ó thaobh cúrsaí síochána a chur chun cinn ar a bhealach deas, ciúin féin. Ba mhaith liom comhbhrón a dhéanamh lena chairde ar fad sna Redemptorists.

I join in the condolences on the death of Fr. Alec Reid who played such a central but quiet role in the peace process. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. I convey my condolences to the Redemptorist community, in particular, and his confreres. I concur with Senator Ivana Bacik that a debate on the North would be useful at this stage in the light of the "Panorama" documentary last week and Ann Cadwallader's book on the atrocities that occurred there. There was much more to the conflict than has been brought to light and I would welcome a debate on the issue.

I find it strange that Fianna Fáil Members are jumping up and down about the problems in the HSE, given that their leader set it up.
