On behalf of the Methodist people of Ireland, we extend our deepest sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Seamus Mallon. Seamus Mallon has had a long and distinguished political career in which he has contributed positively to the live of all who live here. He was a man of integrity and courage. His straight talking may have ruffled a few feathers at time but we always appreciated his honest and his unswerving rejection of the use of violence for political ends. His sincere compassion for victims of the Troubles was noted and appreciated, sadly, on far too many occasions.
