I pay tribute and express my sympathy to the family of the late Mr. Michael Lambert of Clooneygrasson, Ballintubber, Castlerea, County Roscommon. He, a near neighbour of mine, was the oldest man in Ireland. He passed away yesterday at the age of 107. This man lived through two world wars and was married for 60 years. He lived a very healthy lifestyle right up to his death. In the past he often cycled 60 miles to Croagh Patrick, climbed the mountain and cycled home. Only last year his son told me his father was in good health and had been at the mart in Castlerea that day. He will be remembered. May he rest in peace.
