Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before the Leader responds, I wish to be associated with the remarks of sympathy to the late Seymour Crawford. I served with him in the Lower House for some years. He was indeed extremely knowledgeable on farming matters and, from my experiences with him, a very polite and decent man. I served on a committee with him. I convey my sympathies to his family and the Fine Gael Party in Monaghan, where he was a pillar. I remember from election results some years ago that he was always on top of his game in his native county.
