The death of Uachtarán an Chomhaltais Aintóin Ó Fionnagáin came as an immense shock to his colleagues and friends at home and abroad. Tony was elected President of Comhaltas at the Annual Congress last May.

During his short term of office and despite his illness, Tony fulfilled his duties with diligence and dignity. His quiet and courteous demeanour endeared him to all who came to know him.

It was at Cultúrlann na hÉireann, where he had officiated at a number of meetings that weekend, that Tony departed this life. He was among his friends with whom he shared so many interests particularly the native cultural traditions of Ireland.

To his wife Ann and family we extend our heartfelt sympathy and appreciation.
