Comment on this
I wish to be associated with the expressions of sympathy yesterday on the death of the former Minister and Member of this House, Mr. Joe Walsh, who was a colleague of mine. Unfortunately, I was not here as I was attending his funeral mass. I have been assured by the Leader and the Cathaoirleach that statements will be made at an appropriate time on his association with this House.
