My family has always been proud of Conors achievements in his life this far.
He has served & cared for the people of St Helens well, we would have expected nothing less.
He, his wife Kate, son Tomás & daughter Neasa are in our prayers.
All will be well
It is a privilege to represent my friends, neighbours and our wonderful community as the MP for St Helens North.
But after twenty years in politics, I want to put my health, family and future first and so I have decided not to stand again at the next General Election.
Michael McCreesh carries the remains of his good friend Tommy Lynch on his final journey prior to his burial in Bessbrook.
On 20th 1981 Tommy was elected as an Anti H Block Councillor to Newry & Mourne.
His life of leadership, wisdom friendship & wit was valued by many of us
These lads are a credit to their families, county,club’s & community.
