I echo the comments of Members. I remarked on the late Mary O’Rourke but I join with Members on their tribute to the late John Naughten, who was a thoroughly decent human being. He was a fine public representative and a wonderful person in his own right. The news of his death at the weekend has shocked us all. Our deepest sympathies to his wife, Breda, his children, his mum, his brother Denis and his other brothers. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Our deepest sympathies as well to the family of Adie Farrell, who was a fantastic character and who served the people of Longford with distinction for 39 years. I thank Senator Carrigy for raising that.
