I join colleagues in wishing the soon-to-be Commissioner, Michael McGrath, all the best as he moves on to a new role, and Jack Chambers as he also moves to a new role as the Minister for Finance.
I join Members in expressing sympathy to the family of Tommie Gorman, who has passed away in the past few hours and after 41 years of service with RTÉ, including as north-west correspondent. He also served in Brussels from 1989 and, of course, as the Northern editor for many years and was very much involved in understanding and portraying the conflict of Northern Ireland.
I also join colleagues in their comments on Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh and his long service, not just as a teacher, for which he was famous, but also as the trainer of members of the Kerry team who were based in Dublin. He was the one who organised their training. He was also the voice of the summer, the voice of the sport and voice of the nation. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
