Brother Kevin Crowley
The Cathaoirleach resumed proceedings and Senator Fitzpatrick welcomed visitors, then mourned the death of Brother Kevin Crowley and praised the Capuchin Day Centre's work.
-----but it might not have been appropriate at the time. You are most welcome to Seanad Éireann.
I call Senator Fitzpatrick.

I join in the welcome to our visitors from the west. They are very welcome. They are in great company with the esteemed Senator Crowe and I hope he looks after them well. I am sure he will.
I have just heard the very sad news that Brother Kevin Crowley has passed away. Kevin Crowley hailed from Cork and he passed away in his home county. He came to my constituency of Dublin Central many years ago. It is very sad news. For 56 years, Kevin, the volunteers and the people in the Capuchin Day Centre have never turned anyone away. They have always treated everyone with dignity and respect. They have cared not just for their hunger and their need for food and water, but for their well-being. It is very sad. May he rest in peace.
