Statement from the Archbishop of Armagh on the death of Seamus Mallon
The Most Revd Dr Richard Clarke, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, has issued the following statement:
‘Seamus Mallon was by profession a teacher and then politician, a leader and risk taker. He was an outspoken opponent of violence, who saw a better way of living if the people of this island learned to understand each other better. A peacemaker firmly committed to building a better future for all. Sympathy and prayers are extended to his family and colleagues at this sad time.’
