It has been reported to me that Deputy Patrick Burke, of Clare, died suddenly, a few moments ago, within the precincts of Leinster House. I am informed that the Dáil has adjourned until tomorrow, and I am communicating the information to the Seanad in case the House should wish to act in sympathy with the action of the Dáil.
Death of a Deputy.
An Leas-Chathaoirleach
I move, Sir, in the circumstances, that the Seanad do adjourn until this day week.
I think, Sir, that that is a very proper course to take, and I wish to second Senator Quirke's motion.
Question put and agreed to.
Senators rose in their places.
The Seanad adjourned at 6 p.m. until 3 p.m. on Wednesday, 14th February.
