Tributes paid to fearless champion of the disabled

LORD Thady Dunraven, whose funeral takes place in Adare, Co Limerick tomorrow, was a man who worked to make this country totally accessible to people with disabilities, the Irish Wheelchair Association said in one of many tributes.

The monthly meeting of Limerick County Council adjourned for 15 minutes as a mark of respect.

Born Thady Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, the 7th Earl of Dunraven died at his home at Kilgobbin House, Adare last Friday at the age of 71.
