John Minihan (Progressive Democrats)

I extend my condolences to Liam's family and endorse the kind sentiments expressed about him. In this case they are all true. He was parochial in his thinking, promoted Cork and crossed party divides. During those long nights discussing council budgets and so on, Liam always worked behind the scenes and he carried that dedication through his political career. As Senator Brian Hayes said, his loyalty to his party was the mark of his political career. Furthermore, his loyalty to his people extended not only to those he represented but to Cork city in its entirety. He took pride in this, in both his business and political lives. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
