Former Finance Minister Brian Lenihan has passed away. The 52-year-old lost his battle with illness early this morning. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009, Mr Lenihan continued to work and served as Finance Minister up until February of this year.
Since then, he has been deputy leader of the party as well as spokesman on finance – but in recent weeks his health again deteriorated.
Mr Lenihan died in the early hours of the morning at his house in west Dublin. He is survived by his wife, Patricia, their two children, his mother, and three brothers and one sister.
