Boyle Statement on Passing of Martin McGuinness

WASHINGTON, DC– Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-13) statement on the Passing of Martin McGuinness:

"It is with great sorrow that I learn of the passing of Martin McGuinness. This is a great loss for Northern Ireland and the cause of peace the world over," said Congressman Boyle.

"One of the great achievements in the world in the last fifty years has been the Northern Ireland Peace Process. Simply put, without Martin McGuinness, peace would not have been achieved and sustained.

I pay tribute to Martin's dedication to securing peace on the island throughout his long career working alongside three First Ministers of Northern Ireland, and vow to honor his memory through my commitment to preserving that peace.

I extend my condolences to the entire McGuinness family."
