I pay tribute to the contribution to sport made by Paul O'Connell, the captain of the Irish rugby team. He is an exemplary sportsman, known throughout the entire world, one whom many young men in this country will try to emulate.

Tomorrow will be a day of national mourning following the death of Garda Anthony Golden. I suggest a book of condolences be opened in every Garda station in the country. Many people would like to express their sympathy to his family. Perhaps every regional headquarters might consider opening a book of condolences in his honour.
