Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I join the Cathaoirleach and Senators Gallagher, Feighan, Boyhan, Richmond, Mullen, O'Reilly and Coghlan in expressing to the nephews and nieces of the late Seymour Crawford our deepest and heartfelt sympathies. He was an extraordinary person and a gentle but firm man who was very passionate about Monaghan, his faith and the farming community that he was a member of and represented. He was also very good company. I would love to have been in the car with Senator Coghlan as they travelled from Monaghan to the ferry.
