‘He had that indefinable something, that magic’

IN a glowing and touching homily to his brother, Fr Eoghan Haughey yesterday paid tribute to Charles Haughey, saying there would never be his like again.

In a speech that drew several warm outbursts of applause from mourners, Fr Haughey said the former Taoiseach had worked hard for many causes, including peace in the North, the arts, and the cause of the less fortunate.

Mr Haughey “worked on a large canvas, in broad imaginative strokes” and had always shown concern for society’s poor and less fortunate, he said.
