Dáil holds minute’s silence for Jo Cox

The Dáil yesterday held a minute’s silence to pay tribute to British MP Jo Cox, who was murdered in her West Yorkshire constituency of Batley and Spen last week.

Members of the Oireachtas have also signed a book of condolence that was opened in Leinster House last Friday.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny led tributes to the British MP, saying that the “outpouring of grief and dismay at her murder” gave a strong indication to her standing as an individual and a public representative.
