Statement from Dympna Daly Finn on the death of Cllr. John Naughten

“I am shocked and saddened to hear such sad news about John’s passing. I am in total disbelief.

John has been a county councillor since 2004, he had been such a good friend to me and offered so much support and advice since the local elections.

“It is a sad day for Fine Gael and John’s family. He was such a hard working councillor who did so much for the people of South Roscommon and Co Roscommon.

“It was an honour for me to be running alongside John in the General Election. We got on so well together with the one aim of gaining the seat back for Fine Gael.

“I want to extend my deepest sympathies to John’s wife Breda, his children, his brother Dennis and the extended Naughten family.

May he rest in peace.”
