Death of Paul O'Dwyer

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams MP has expressed his `shock and deep sadness at the death of Paul O'Dwyer in New York'.

Mr. Adams has sent his ``sincere condolences to Paul's wife Pat, him family and friends''.

Mr. Adams said:

``Paul O'Dwyer was a life long champion of Irish freedom. Over five decades Paul worked unceasingly against discrimination and injustice, in Ireland, in the United States and internationally.

``He was a generous, funny and committed democrat who played a central role in keeping alive in the United States the desire for a United Ireland. His death is a great loss. He will be greatly missed.''
