Former Minister Seamus Brennan dies at 60

Long-serving TD for Dublin South, Seamus Brennan, died at his home this morning following a long illness. On May 6 he had resigned from his Cabinet position as Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism. Mr Brennan had a long and successful career with the Fianna Fail party. He was first elected to the Dail for Dublin South in 1981 and held his seat in the constituency in every subsequent election. He was a true public servant and will be missed by both the people of Dublin South and Ireland as a whole.
