The Mayor of the City and County of Limerick is offering his condolences to the family of Fr Jack Finucane, Freeman of Limerick, who has passed away at the age of 80
Mayor Kieran O’Hanlon said: “On behalf of the people of Limerick, I would like to offer condolences to the Finucane family on the death of Fr Jack.”
“It was with great sadness that I heard of Fr Jack Finucane’s death. His work with those from developing countries is unsurpassed. From the Biafran region in Nigeria to Bangladesh and Ethiopia, Fr Jack has tended to some of the poorest people in the world.”
“He joined Concern in 1968 along with his brother Fr Aengus after it was founded by John and Kay O’Loughlin Kennedy. This is a charity which has stood the test of time and is a by word for professionalism and caring.”
“Frs Jack and Aengus were made Freemen of Limerick in 2005 in recognition of their tireless work in Africa and Asia.”
“He was a wonderful man who dedicated his life to those less fortunate,” the Mayor added.
