Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

I would like also to be associated with the tributes to the late Joe Sherlock who, as has been said, was a Member of this House from 1993 to 1997, having been elected to the Labour Panel. During his many years of public service at local and national level, Joe made a major contribution to Irish political life. He will be sadly missed by all his colleagues in the Oireachtas and especially by the people of east Cork whom he represented so loyally for so many years. He was one of life's gentlemen.

I extend my sincere sympathy to his wife, Ellen, his sons, Joe and Seán, and his daughter, Úna, on their sad loss.
