David Hurley, 15 Jul
A SPECIAL meeting of Limerick City and County Council is to take place
on Monday morning ahead of the funeral Mass of David Naughton - the
former Cathaoirleach of Limerick County Council.
Mr Naughton, who served as Cathaoirleach in 2009, died at his home in
Ballysteen, near Askeaton, earlier this week.
He served as a Fine Gael Councillor for more than 20 years having first
been elected in 1991. He was re-elected in 1999, 2004 and 2009 but
retired from politics ahead of the 2014 local elections and the merger
of the two local authorities.
Predeceased by his wife Geraldine (nee McCarthy) and his sister
Deirdre, Mr Naughton is survived by his children Trevor, Barry, Karen,
Damien and Ann Marie.
He is also deeply regretted by his sisters Ann, Olive, Denise, Kay,
Valerie, Caroline and his grandchildren Jack, Kate, Rachel, Emily along
with other relatives and friends.
