@mmcloughlin2001 fair enough but the inner city of dublin was one of the poorest places in europe in 1982 and nobody was doing anything so tony done what had to be done if the money was taken from the wealthy areas and put into north dublin then good.

A man with ability, conviction and a back bone, rare combination in Irish politics. Badly missed, rest in peace because when you were with us you fought the good fight.

[mmcloughlin2001]

Greatest parish pump politician of them all, held the government to ransom for money for his area.

It's always the good ones like Tony. It's never the absolute gobshites like Lowry or Healy-Rae.

He'll be sadly missed.

Wonderfull comments on this page, it is a sad fate though when we have maybe 3 or 4 tds in the Country like this man.

I didn't know that he had passed, RIP.

He was indeed a WONDERFUL example of an excellent human being where power didn't corrupt. So, there's hope.

Thanks for posting this video and giving us a chance to express our sympathy and appreciation.

This man is an example of what politicians can achieve for their constituents. Tony Gregory made a difference to the lives of his people and that is his legacy. A truly selfless individual. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

...so fighting for the deprived and downtrodden is a thing to be reviled? Socialist or not no one else was or is doing it in the Dail nowadays and look where it's got us, cronyism to the extreme and a broken Republic. No wonder the North wants to remain a part of the UK.
