Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Senator for his kind remarks. I would also like to be associated with the comments on the sad passing of Paul Anthony McDermott. I was unaware of it because I was off sick. Mr. McDermott was a frequent visitor to this House and, to the best of my knowledge, he was an adviser to one of the committees I chaired as a Deputy. May he rest in peace. He was a very pleasant character. He gave very balanced advice and was sure-footed from a legal perspective.

I call on Senator O'Mahony, who is to get a second bite of the cherry.
