Kenny leads Dáil tributes after former politician’s death
The five-time mayor of Limerick was described as the “quintessential public man” who held every office possible in the city and was well respected and well liked.
The Dáil was told that George Edward Russell, born in 1912, 10 years before the Irish State was founded, made an immense contribution to local business and was a dedicated sportsman, captaining the Bohemians and winning a final trial for Ireland in 1938.
