The Mayor of the City and County of Limerick has offered his sympathies to the Enright family on the passing of former county councillor and Limerick hurler Leonard Enright at the age of 65.
Mayor James Collins said: “It was with great sadness that I heard of the death of my former party and council colleague Leonard Enright. Leonard served the community of Patrickswell and surrounding areas with his quiet yet steely determination during his period on Limerick County Council.”
“He was first elected for Fianna Fail in June 1999 and was returned in all subsequent elections until his retirement from politics in 2014.”
“Leonard was a man of few words but his actions spoke for themselves. He was passionate about his area and wanted the best for it.”
“Leonard’s death comes just hours after he was inducted into the GAA Hall of Fame. The former Patrickswell player was inspirational in the early 1980s and received three All Stars in 1980, 81 and 83.”
“My sympathies and the sympathies of the people of Limerick are with Leonard’s wife Birdie, sons Alan, Thomas and David, daughter Mary, other family members and friends”
“Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.”
The funeral details for Leonard Enright RIP are:
Reposing today, Sunday, November 4 at the Church of the Blessed Virgin Patrickswell from 4-7pm.
Funeral mass on Monday, November 5 at 11:30 am with burial afterwards in St Mary’s New Cemetery, Patrickswell.
