I move:
That Seanad Éireann —
- expresses its deep sadness on the death of former Senator Richard Dowling;
- conveys its sincere condolences to his family; and
- expresses its gratitude for his notable contribution, as a member of Seanad Eireann, to Irish public life and for his dedicated service to the people of Ireland.
I add to that a reference to Councillor Murphy.
