Táirgím:
Go ndéanfaidh Dáil Éireann comhbhrón diacrach le Parlaimint agus pobal na hIndia faoi bhás an Phríomh Aire Indira Gandhi.
I move:
That Dáil Éireann extend its deep sympathy to the Parliament and people of India on the death of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Deputies will have been shocked to learn this morning of the assassination of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India. The loss of this great leader is indeed a profound tragedy for India with its population of many different races and religions. India is a country with which Ireland has close friendships and many ties dating back to the foundation of our State. Reflecting these ties our two countries have exchanged Presidential visits on a number of occasions.
I know Deputies will want to join with me in expressing the hope that the aftermath of this terrible event will be peaceful in that great democracy, and also in conveying our sorrow to the Government and Parliament of India, and to the family of the late Mrs. Gandhi, on this appalling tragedy.
