Statement from An Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald TD re the passing of former Taoiseach and Leader of Fine Gael Liam Cosgrave
4th October 2017 - Frances Fitzgerald MEP
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Taoiseach and Leader of Fine Gael Liam Cosgrave.
He had a long distinguished career in politics, following in the footsteps of his father W.T Cosgrave.
As Taoiseach and leader of Fine Gael, he led the party through a successful coalition with Labour from 1973-1977.
He was revered among Fine Gael politicians and supporters across Ireland and held in high esteem by those who witnessed his incredible contribution to Irish political life. He will be greatly missed by us all.
To Mary, Liam Junior, Ciaran and his extended family, I wish to express my sincere condolences at this very sad time.
