The members in turn offered expressions of support and unity with Cllr. McMahon Jones in the event of the loss she and her family had suffered. Cllr. Prendeville conveyed the support and sympathy of the Clare County Council members and officials, who had also passed a vote of sympathy to Cllr. McMahon Jones and her family.
