Haughey hailed for his compassion
Former Taoiseach Charles Haughey was a great human being who had a genuine compassion for the weak and vulnerable, his brother tonight told the congregation at his local church.
The remains of the controversial leader, 80, draped in the Tricolour, were officially received at the Church of Our Lady of Consolation in the heart of the North Dublin constituency he represented for 35 years.
