Mark Daly (Fianna Fail)

Before I call the Leader, I join our colleagues in extending our sympathies to the family of Senator Teresa Costello and to Senator Costello herself on the sad passing of her father, John Francis. I extend my sympathies to Councillor Niall "Botty" O'Callaghan from the Fáilte Hotel in Killarney, the home of hospitality in the kingdom, on the passing of his brother, Paudie, and also to my cousin, Councillor Fionnán Fitzgerald, on the death of his dad, Bob, who served as a garda and a teacher but was a farmer first and foremost. My sympathies to all of the Fitzgerald family on their sad bereavement.
