Martin Lonergan R.I.P.

There was deep shock and disbelief with the news that Martin Lonergan former County Councillor and Mayor of Clonmel had passed away last Tuesday in his sleep at his home in Goatenbridge where he lived with his mother Maureen.

Martin had a deep interest in politics from a very young age, and Martin’s election to the County Council in 2014 and subsequently elected Mayor of Clonmel was his proudest moment. He carried out his brief to a very high standard.

Martin is survived by his mother Maureen, sister Noreen, brothers John and Noel and all his extended family.

He had a deep faith in God and was always helping with his local church and with the Waterford & Lismore Diocese representing the local area.

Martin was predeceased by his father Sean a number of years ago.

Martin’s remains were removed from Goatenbridge Community Hall to Ballybacon church last Saturday and following requiem Mass he was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery. R.I.P.
