Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

As a fellow Roscommon man, I extend my deepest sympathy to the de Brún family, Máirín, Tadhg and Finín, on the death of Séamus de Brún. Séamus was an extraordinary man who lived in Castlerea. He taught and was a member of the board of management of the vocational school in Ballaghadereen and later a member of the vocational education committee. He also served as director of elections for Fianna Fáil in 1977 when Deputy Seán Doherty and I entered Dáil Éireann. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his tremendous work.
