Statement from Deputy John Paul O’Shea TD on the passing of Cllr. Michael Creed MCC

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Cllr. Michael Creed MCC.

 

Michael was a long-standing and dedicated member of Cork County Council, proudly representing the Macroom Municipal District. He gave generously of his time and energy in service to his community and was widely respected for his commitment, integrity, and compassion.

 

He was also a valued colleague and friend, having stood alongside me as a Fine Gael candidate in the General Election of November 2024 in the Cork North West constituency, where he worked tirelessly for our party and for the people of the region, narrowly missing out on securing a second seat for Fine Gael.

 

His loss will be felt deeply by all who had the privilege of working with him and by the many people he represented over the years.

 

At this very difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, colleagues, and all who mourn his passing.

 

I wish to extend my sincere sympathies to the Creed family and to all who knew and loved Michael.

 

May he rest in peace.
