Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Anois, a chairde, we are all aware of the sad passing of Garda Kevin Flatley in the line of duty. Every time a member of An Garda Síochána goes out on their day's work, there is always a chance they will not come home. On behalf of Seanad Éireann and all the Seanadóirí, I express my deepest condolences to Garda Flatley's family, friends and colleagues.

I ask Members to be upstanding for a minute's silence. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
