Brian Lenihan Passes Away

Nice man and a decent man and whether or not you agreed with his decisions, to me, he was always trying his best.
 
Very sad news indeed. And I echo what's already been said. The measure of the man was his courage in facing up to this terrible illness and he did that with dignity, grace and humour. Can't say better than that. I wouldn't vote FF in a fit, but he was a good un.Really feel for his young family, terrible stuff. RIP
 
Well said, I agree. His dignity and courage in dealing with his illness while holding down such a tough job always impressed me. My heart goes out to his family. May he rest in peace.
 


Yes, it would have been better if he had spend the time he had left with his family. I am very saddened to hear of his death and the brave battle he put up. Hope he is in a joyful place now, his suffereing is no more.
 
Although he will probably go down in history as being at the heart of Ireland's financial mess along with some of his party, I did really admire how he conducted himself whilst suffering from such a serious condition.

At the end of the day, I am sure he knew the prognosis, and maybe knew he didn't have many years left, but instead of spending his time relaxing, being with friends and family etc, he spent a lot of his last months trying to chat to the ECB, IMF etc and do some good for his country.

For that he deserves respect.

I signed the online condolence book for Lenihan.

They insist on you giving an email address. I really hope this isn't to be used for sending out spam FF emails.

Probably just a mechanism to dissuade the leaving of inappropriate remarks.

Terribly sad to hear about the death of such a young man. My condolences to all his friends and family.

RIP
 
My thoughts are with his wife and children, He was a husband and a father, Nothing other than that matters.
