James Bannon (Fine Gael)

When a person gives money to one as a child, one always remembers it. He had great time for children, his family and the neighbours he left behind in County Longford. He always came to the funerals of family and neighbours despite the fact that he was busy in Dublin developing a business. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Mr. Belton was a gentleman from head to toe and he carried that to his grave. My sincere sympathies to his wife and family and to his extended family in County Longford and throughout Ireland.
