Statement from An Tánaiste following the passing of Councillor Michael Creed

“Today we have lost a cherished friend in Councillor Michael Creed.

 

“Michael was a warm, honest, hard-working and deeply committed public servant who diligently served the people of North-West Cork for over 17 years.

 

“When I think of Michael, I think of his extraordinary work ethic and his innate sense of decency.

 

“Michael served a distinguished career in the Department of Agriculture, where he was involved in some of the most important issues facing our farming community.

 

“As a councillor, Michael believed in putting people first – always carrying out his duties with a great sense of honour and integrity.

 

“Michael’s loss will be felt profoundly within the Fine Gael family, his community of Macroom-Millstreet and beyond.

 

“Our thoughts and prayers are very much with his family and at this difficult time.

 

“Ar dheis dé go raibh a anam.”
