Watch: Jack Lynch legacy ‘must lead to better Ireland’

The family of the late Taoiseach Jack Lynch has urged the State to ensure his lasting legacy of leadership contributes to a better Ireland.

His nephew, Dan Harvey, made the call yesterday as the Lord Mayor of Cork, Tony Fitzgerald, led graveside tributes to mark the 100th anniversary of Mr Lynch’s birth.

Mr Harvey said there had been a lot of commentary in recent days about what the Jack Lynch legacy is, or ought to be.
