Death of Former Members: Expressions of Sympathy.

 

2:30 pm

Maurice Hayes (Independent)

I wish to speak briefly because I am from the North and Louis Walsh was a Derry man. When he was elected to the House, he already had a considerable career behind him and had been very active in his early days. I think he was even in the Sinn Féin courts in east Derry. He was very active in political, cultural and other affairs in Derry and Antrim. He was a very cultured man who wrote movingly and kindly in a memoir of his early life which is worth reading. I too wish to be associated with the tributes to him and the sympathy to his family.
