The strength of affection in which Feargal Quinn was held by every Member of this House was exemplified by the tremor in the Leas-Chathaoirleach's voice when he spoke about him. Everyone feels Feargal's loss very deeply. However, I wish to correct the Leas-Chathaoirleach on one thing. He was not nominated to the Seanad. He was triumphantly elected by the National University of Ireland, our sister university panel.
