Archbishop Martin pays tribute to Haughey

Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin has offered his sympathy on the passing of Charles Haughey and said Mr Haughey was a man who has engaged the people of Ireland for 40 years.

In a statement, Archbishop Martin said: “These days following the death of the former Taoiseach were not ones for writing history books. A full and balanced analysis of Mr Haughey’s impact on Irish life would take time and careful consideration.
