Tributes paid to late Liam O’Neill, former Irish Examiner political correspondent

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has led the tributes to former Irish Examiner political correspondent Liam O’Neill, who died at the weekend.

Mr O'Neill was a prominent member of the Leinster House press corps, as a reporter and analyst, for three decades before his retirement in 2001.

He was described by Mr Kenny as "a very astute political analyst and a very experienced journalist, having written about most of the big political stories over the last number of decades''.

From Wexford, he is survived by his wife, Therese, three sons and a daughter.
