I pay tribute to Brendan Daly who passed away overnight. He was a former member of Seanad Éireann, and a former Deputy, Cabinet Minister and junior Minister. Brendan served the people of west Clare with distinction in these Houses for more than 30 years and from every position, from Cabinet right down to being a Member of this House on a number of occasions. He will be remembered for much of the work he did for individuals in County Clare, people who went to him for assistance and always met an open door in Cooraclare. Brendan will be sadly missed by the people of west Clare and, indeed, by his family, and I pay tribute to him and pass on my sympathies to his family at this very difficult time.
