Tributes as Cardinal Daly dies at 92

CARDINAL Cahal Daly, one of this country’s most senior Catholic churchmen, died yesterday in a Belfast hospital.

The 92-year-old senior cleric had been admitted to Belfast City Hospital earlier this week having suffered heart problems.

President Mary McAleese said last night: “Cardinal Cahal Daly will be fondly remembered by many people on this island. He showed immense courage in his efforts to advocate for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Northern Ireland.”
