I will begin the expressions of sympathy for our late friend and colleague, former Senator Terry Brennan, by welcoming Aileen, Tanya, David and Bob, who is watching from the United States. I apologise to Bob, because, as Terry would have been aware, sometimes in a democracy important occasions like this, when we remember a colleague who has gone from us, can be delayed. Tanya is joined by Aoife, Megan and Oran, David is here with Tadgh and close friend, John Meehan. Councillor Peter Savage is here with us. Peter served with Terry for so long and soldiered alongside him in Carlingford and in the Dundalk electoral area. You are all most welcome here today to remember our friend and colleague, who was a great part of this institution. We remember him as a legislator, a colleague and a friend. I ask members to be upstanding for a minute's silence.
