I join Senator O'Loughlin in paying tribute to former Councillor Micheál "Spike" Nolan, who, as she said, was absolutely a gentleman. He was a wonderful person who served his area with distinction, as did his late father. I thank Senator O'Loughlin for drawing attention to Councillor Nolan's passing this morning. Our sympathies go to his wife, Deirdre, his children, Rebecca, Tadhg and Jack, and his mum, Ursula. Our deepest sympathies to the family of Andrew Brady also.
