24th May 2014 - Susan Moss
The Fine Gael General Secretary Tom Curran has paid tribute to Councillor Owen Bannigan, who tragically passed away today. Councillor Bannigan had been canvassing earlier in the day.
“I was deeply saddened to hear today of the sudden passing of Owen Bannigan. He served the people of Ballybay-Clones since 1999 as a Councillor. I know that he showed great dedication in that service, and it is fitting that he had been campaigning earlier today.
“He was also Fine Gael’s Director of Elections in County Monaghan on a number of occasions, and had previously been Chairman of Macra na Feirme. My thoughts and prayers and those of all in Fine Gael are with Owen’s family and those he has left behind. “
