I am deeply saddenned to hear of the untilmely and unfortunate loss of one of the few "down to earth" TD's (let alone Ministers) that I have ever come across in my short years in this life, he is a great loss to his constituents (including myself), to his family and to his friends and supporters, and I cannot express how much I am saddenned to have heard of his untilemly death, RIP - Seamus Brennan TD

I have fond, very fond memories of this true and exemplary gentleman from my childhood growing up in the 1980's, and I remember a man who would kindly and dutifully listen to his constituents's issues, and in later years was indeed a true friend (I mean this 100% sincerely) of the bus preservation scene in Ireland. I will not go into much detail on this, but without his kind-hearted and genuine help, several examples of Irish-built vehicles that are preserved today, which are far older than me - would probably not be around when most of us are long and gone, and let alone drive again on the road at over 30+ years of age, long after their time in this world has come and gone..

Seamus Brennan was a man who could see "beyond the boundaries", and yet those around him could (or would) not admit it at the time, which perhaps was his eventual downfall as he did the right thing, rather than play the political game. But even with this is mind, you could always be assured of a warm and genuine handshake from a decent man like the late Seamus Brennan, which these days, is a valuable commodity.

He might not have agreed with everyone, but at least he was genuine, straight-talking, future-minded, and definitely one of a kind - certainly a world apart from today's political establishement of turncoats, backstabbers, brass-neck convicted TD's, snakes, & BIFFO's - who or what IS runnign the country these days...???

Go n'Eirigh an Bóthar leat, Seamus. You were one of the "good guys" and you will be missed.
