Ford pays tribute to political satirist Sean Crummey

Alliance Leader David Ford MLA has paid tribute to political satirist Sean Crummey who died today. He is best known for his television and radio show “the Folks on the Hill”.

David Ford MLA said: “I would like to extend my sympathies to Sean’s families and friends.

“Sean was one of Northern Ireland’s most popular and admired comics.

“He helped move Northern Ireland forward by encouraging politicians to laugh at themselves. He will be fondly missed by all the folks on the hill who he impersonated in his shows.”
