Taoiseach Simon Harris has paid tribute to LMFM presenter Michael Reade, who passed away today after a battle with cancer.
"I want to send my condolences to Michael’s wife Sandra, his son Luke, brothers, sister and extended family on the untimely passing of Michael.
"I also want to offer my sympathies to his colleagues at LMFM and indeed, his loyal listeners.
"For over 20 years, Michael has been a voice to the frustrations, the celebrations and curiosity of people across Louth and Meath.
"For those of us who sat opposite him, he has been robust and tough but never unfair.
"Michael is a loss to journalism, a loss to the people of Louth and Meath but most particularly his family and friends.
"Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. May he rest easy.”
