Before I call on the Leader I wish on my behalf and on behalf of the House to express sympathy on the death of a former Member of the House, Mr. Sam McAughtry, who was a very popular Senator. The Leader will move formal expressions of sympathy at a later stage when Members can contribute. Sam was a very popular Member. He was elected to the 20th Seanad where he made many friends. He was also a very astute and respected politician. He was a writer, broadcaster and a former columnist with The Irish Times. I extend my sympathy to his partner and extended family on their sad loss.
