Statement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin on the death of Seán Barrett
- Foilsithe:
- An t-eolas is déanaí:
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Seán Barrett.
Seán gave distinguished service to the State - as Chief Whip, as Ceann Comhairle, and as a minister.
He believed passionately in parliamentary democracy. He was a very fair Ceann Comhairle and a competent, capable minister.
He was a thorough gentleman. I enjoyed his company in Dáil Éireann - we always got on well.
My deepest sympathies to his wife Sheila, family, and friends at this time.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
