Regarding Standing Order 153(1), before the Order of Business I announced the death of a former Member of this House, Enda Bonner. Members stood for a minute's silence. One of the Standing Orders of this House ensures that all former Members are remembered by the House. I ask the Leader to read out the motion that will be sent to the family this week.
Death of Former Member: Motion
I move:
That Seanad Éireann:
- expresses its deep sadness on the death of Enda Bonner;
- conveys its sincere condolences to his family; and
- expresses its gratitude for his notable contribution, as a member of Seanad Éireann, to Irish public life and for his dedicated service to the people of Ireland.
Question put and agreed to.
