So sorry to hear of the passing of Noel Treacy, one of our longest serving TDs, a gentleman who cared deeply about the people he represented. He exemplified the very best in public service and was exceptionally talented. May he RIP. My deepest sympathy to his family. #galwayeast pic.twitter.com/jWSea20JwB
