Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has led tributes to a local councillor who died while canvassing for Willie O’Dea in Limerick.

Joe Crowley, who was elected to Limerick city and county council in 2014, was canvassing for Mr O’Dea yesterday when he collapsed.

The married father-of-three, from Westfield Park in the city, was later pronounced dead in hospital.
