Alliance Councillor Patrick Brown has expressed his condolences after the tragic death of local businessman Denis Lynn.

The Finnebrogue Artisan founder and chairman was killed in a quad accident over the bank holiday weekend.

Patrick said: “This is devastating news for anyone who knew Denis Lynn, both personally and professionally.

“As the founder of Finnebrogue Artisan, Denis played a major role in building and supporting the local economy. His presence and dedication within the local community will be missed.

“This was a tragic accident and one which has cruelly claimed the life of Denis when he had so much more life to live. My thoughts are with his wife Christine and four daughters as they come to terms with what has happened and start to rebuild their lives in the coming weeks and months.”
