Statement by President Higgins on the death of Frank Murray

Date: Sun 1st Apr, 2018 | 10:29

"I have heard with deep regret of the passing of Frank Murray, former Secretary General to the Government.

As a public servant, in a distinguished career, he held the respect of members of the Government right across the political spectrum.

I have the warmest memories of his service in the 1990s.

After his retirement, to his native Leitrim - for he was a proud Leitrim man – he went on to serve the State in a most valuable way, including in the search for the Disappeared.

To his family and friends, I offer my deepest condolences."
