Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

It is a valuable piece. This is the kind of generosity in question. He arranged the event and we went to his restaurant. I was impressed by Grange. It is an example of a village that has developed well over the years. This is a tribute to the local vocational school, in which he was involved, its teachers and the people of the area. It is an extraordinary place. People could follow the work that has been done.

Willie was extraordinary. After being disabled in an accident, he was innovative in raising funds for charity. He was so intelligent, he could raise a great deal of money when things were difficult. I am delighted, honoured and proud to have known Willie Farrell, to have been at his funeral and that he is being remembered today. A video that will be made available will show he was a man of great integrity and ability who achieved much and who left behind a great family and a considerable reputation, which is invaluable.
