ICMSA’s Sean Kelly laid to rest

SEAN KELLY, laid to rest in his native soil at Tipperary last week, was remembered as “a great and genuine farming leader of courage”.

Leaders of all farming organisations and rural bodies were among the large gathering who paid their final respects to the 82 year old former ICMSA President, who died unexpectedly while leading a group of farmers on a foreign holiday.

From Curraghpoor, Tipperary, Mr Kelly was the only President in the ICMSA’s 53 year history to serve two terms as leader.
