Catherine Ardagh (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

On behalf of Fianna Fáil, I send our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Jo Cox. Our sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with her husband and two beautiful children, who must be so proud of their mother and wife. We cannot imagine the heartbreak her husband and two children are feeling. This cold-blooded hateful murder was an attack on democracy and an insult to our core human values. As public servants, the act has instilled shock, horror and fear in many of us in light of the fact all of us have similar routines in our constituencies doing very valuable clinic work.We join parliamentarians from across all democratic nations in sympathising with her loved ones and will remain united against hate and extremism. Jo Cox was a strong and determined advocate for justice and equality, and it is incumbent on us to continue her fight for same. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
