Statement from the Tánaiste on Lord Henry Mount Charles

I am deeply saddened at the passing of Lord Henry Mount Charles.

Lord Henry will always be known for his unrivalled wit, his ability to light up a room, and his incredible sense of warmth and generosity.

For so many, Lord Henry will be remembered as the man who brought rock-and-roll to the iconic music venue that is Slane Castle.

I want to pay tribute to him for the incredible contribution he made to arts, culture and of course his beloved county Meath.

My deepest sympathies are today with his family and friends.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
