Kenny leads emotional tribute to Fine Gael TD McFadden

Taoiseach Enda Kenny was visibly as he delivered a graveside oration for Longford/Westmeath TD Nicky McFadden yesterday.

He remembered the 51-year-old Fine Gael TD, who passed away on Tuesday following a two-year battle with motor neurone disease, as a “person of immense courage, dignity, and integrity”.

“We have lost a beautiful woman with a beautiful mind and a beautiful heart,” Mr Kenny told mourners at Coosan Cemetery in Athlone.
