Among those who have passed on and are sorely missed are John Bell, Tommy McGrath, Eugene Markey and Jim Murphy (featured several times on this site).
We can list their names but it would be something else entirely to list their achievements!

I’m really a sad individual.
On the other hand, I couldn’t name you ten of those currently serving as Councillors on Newry & Mourne District Council.
