Colm Burke (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I join with colleagues in expressing sympathy to the McFadden family on the death of Nicky who as a councillor, Senator and Deputy worked tirelessly on behalf of her constituents. She will be sadly missed by her family, her constituents, all in the Houses of the Oireachtas and the Fine Gael Party.

On the events that have occurred over the past 48 hours, I pay tribute to the Taoiseach for the manner in which he has dealt with this matter. He acted immediately and within 48 hours has done everything that is required to be done-----
