Tributes have been paid following the death of the longstanding Fianna Fáil Treasurer Liam McMahon.
“With regret we inform you of the death of our longstanding CDC Treasurer Liam McMahon of Portarlington after a long illness. Liam gave a lifetime of service to the Party. Its position in Laois is in no doubt due to his efforts,” Laois Fianna Fáil.
Fianna Fáil Cllr Paschal McEvoy extended his sympathies to Mr McMahon’s wife and family. He described the death as “a massive loss” and said Mr McMahon was “the Treasurer and chief fundraiser there for the last 30 years”.
“He controlled the fundraising for years. He was one of the best and he was always available for canvassing,” said Cllr McEvoy.
He described Mr McMahon as “a real old style Fianna Fáiler and very decent” and said he would be a big loss to his wife and extended family and to Fianna Fáil.
