"Peter was a well known proud Longford man who always worked to the best of his ability for his constituents.

"I knew Peter before I got involved in politics and I have always found him to be a fine, decent and honourable family man who worked so that Longford would be to the fore.

"That is the attribute of a fine honourable politician.

"I extend my sympathies to his wife Maura, his children and his extended family and friends. RIP."
