RIP Tony Gregory

Although we would not have seen eye to eye on many issues, Tony Gregory was a great politician. Anyone I ever spoke to who had any dealings with him had nothing but praise for the man. He was a firm patriot and a champion of his consituents.

Tributes have already been pouring in. Interestingly, while msn includes the tributes of Sinn Féin's Christy Burke and Gerry Adams in its article on Gregory's passing, the Irish Times article does not see fit to quote any member of Sinn Féin - despite the fact that Gregory was a staunch republican and knew Cllr Burke intimately. What a detestable snobbish rag it is.
