Brian Lenihan RIP Mod Warning Post #1

RTT

Hi guys,
I heard from a very reliable source that Brian Lenihan died this morning.
Unlike the rumours that were circulating a few weeks ago, unfortunately it is actually true this time.
RIP

http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/brian-lenihan-dies-508495.html

Former Finance Minister Brian Lenihan has passed away.

The 59-year-old lost his battle with illness early this morning.

He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009, and served as Finance Minister up until February of this year.

Folks, it's a condolence thread, not a "Let's bash the Government/ Politicians one". Innapropriate posts will be deleted on sight and bans/ infractions given where needed.

Apparently true.

I doubt it. @Lilimc who was retweeted has since deleted her tweet.

O' ...thats strange!
We will have to wait and see so.
An hour or two should bring clarification hopefully.

Poor Uncle Tom

Rest in peace,

Spin 103.8 have confirmed it. Apparently there'll be official confirmation shortly.

I dunno, should people be posting about the deaths of others unless it's confirmed? People who know the man could be in AH.

Rest In Peace

The Journal have also confirmed it. Statement expected at 11am.

RIP.

It's true

Dermot Looney, SDCC councillor appears to be the source on twitter:

Have been getting a lot of tweets questioning my earlier post - sadly, it is true that Brian Lenihan has passed away. May he rest in peace.

Unless his account has been hacked, I imagine that's fairly rock solid. A politician wouldn't post this unless it was true.

anybody know the cause?

Newstalk have confirmed.

Regardless of the political party he was involved with, it's a human life at the end of the day.

RIP

What a shame, one of the few politicians I liked who had genuine intellect and ability.

May he rest in peace.

OP updated.
This is confirmed.

Posters please be respectful.

Sad to hear. He was one of the good ones.

RIP.

Wow, he was always so composed and professional, I'd no idea he was so bad.

I always thought he seemed like a good guy.

RIP

Fago!

RIP Brian Lenihan

Aye, as possibly mentioned already, Breaking News and the Journal have confirmed.
RTE should have confirmation by 6 tomorrow!

RIP, sympathies to his family.

May he rest in peace.

The fact that there were rumours previous to this (if this is accurate) shows what sick ***** some people are.
Didn't realise he was 59.

Galway Advertiser has always confirmed it.

RIP - he must have gone through hell. At least he can rest now.

AudreyHepburn

RIP Brian. He was far too young.

I had no idea he was that bad but pancreatic cancer is known for being a very agressive form of the disease so I've heard.

Every respect to him for keeping going as long as he did.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
