Statement from Minister Helen McEntee on the death of Cllr. John Naughten

“John Naughten’s death is utterly devastating for his family, his neighbours and his colleagues.

“John was a diligent, astute and very hardworking public representative, who would have had a very positive impact in Dáil Éireann. He was a team player who understood his community and wanted only the very best for it.

“I am so sorry for his wife Breda, his daughters Emma, Leah and Orlaith, his mother Mary and his siblings, in particular his brother Denis, who is our much respected colleague in Dáil Éireann.

“May he rest in peace.”
