TDs mourn for former Justice Minister

Finance Minister Brian Cowen sat drinking a pint of Guinness today inside the door of MJ Henry’s pub, where Sean Doherty and his Fianna Fáil cumann had plotted so many of their election victories.

Across the road lay the church in Cootehall, Co Roscommon, which Doherty had visited every day for mass in his final years.
