Message of condolence from the Taoiseach Enda Kenny T.D., following the death of Ian McKeever
3rd January 2013 - Brid Murphy
“I was very saddened to hear of the death of renowned adventurer Ian McKeever.
I had come to know him over recent years and I admired him not only for his own achievements and charity work but also for his work with young people in challenging them to achieve their full potential.
Ian led students from schools in Castlebar to the summit Kilimanjaro and managed to text me updates on their progress en-route.
He was extremely passionate about what he did and driven in his belief that everybody can achieve their potential during their lifetime.
Ian said to me once that there was no place he would rather be than in the mountains.
I would like to extend my sympathies to his fiancée Anna and his family, friends and fellow adventurers.
Ar dheis De go raibh a anam uasal.”
