Late John Naughten, Ardkeenan, Drum, Athlone, Roscommon
The late John Naughten has been remembered as an 'exceptional and skilled politician' by his Roscommon Council Council colleague, Tarmonbarry-based Cllr Tom Crosby.
Cllr Crosby stated, "I received the heartbreaking and shocking news a couple of hours after John's passing on Friday evening. I was attending a Mass in Frenchpark for our colleague and John's party colleague, the late John Connor, former TD, Senator, and Councillor, when the tragic news of John's death emerged.
Reposing on Wednesday, October 9 from 5pm to 8pm in Drum Parish Hall (A one way system will be in place in Summerhill) with Mass of the Resurrection on Thursday, October 10 at 11am in St. Brigid’s Church, Drum, followed by burial in Drum Cemetery.
John's funeral mass can be streamed live HERE. John's family express their gratitude to everyone for your support at this difficult time.
