Mark Daly (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank the Senator for raising the memory of Billy Fox and his courageous service to the State, which cost him his life. I know that Coillte has a memorial forest for him in his home county. On this occasion, it would be fitting for Members to reflect upon Members who have gone before us. As the Senator has stated, however, very few had to make the ultimate sacrifice because they were public representatives who stood up for what they believed in and spoke out against injustice on all sides. Senator McGahon's suggestion that this House should mark Senator Fox's sacrifice is appropriate. I will raise it at the next Oireachtas commission meeting. I thank the Senator. I call Senator Warfield.
