“It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of retired Supreme Court judge the Hon Mr Justice Hugh Geoghegan.
"I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Judge Mary Finlay Geoghegan, to their family, Caren, Sarah, and James, extended family and loved ones.
"Hugh Geoghegan was a very learned, kind and gentle man who served the State with huge distinction from his appointment to the High Court in 1992, going on to serve on the Supreme Court bench in 2000 until his retirement in 2010.
"I know he will be sadly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
