SENATOR EDWARD KENNEDY (NO. 2)

That this House expresses its deep sadness at the death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy on 25 August; recognises his peerless devotion to public service, both in the US and internationally, and his prolific contribution as a legislator over many decades; commends his tireless efforts in the promotion of social justice, universal healthcare and human rights; acknowledges his consistent opposition to violence and his outstanding contribution to the Northern Ireland peace process; and mourns the passing of an inspirational US senator.
