Carol, so sorry to hear of the passing of Ben. So many fond memories of our OUSA days, the day you took me in to see Ben's office, a picture taken with Frank Sinatra on a desk and of course our dinner in the Mansion House with you and Ben and your daughter. Like Frank, Ben was a man who did it his way, such a lovely man. Big hug for you, Carol and Family.

Ben Briscoe was an outstanding Member of Parliament serving as a TD for over 3 decades. Invariably courteous but very firm on his principles often in difficult times. He will be sorely missed.

I extend to Carol and her family my deepest sympathies on the death of Ben. I met him with Carol on a no of occasions down the years. The best way to describe Ben is that he was a true gentleman and his family and his friends will be the poorer without him.

I left a separate tribute to Ben as an Irish politician. Here I want to tell you Carol how sorry I am for your loss.

Ben was a good man, an honest politician with the common touch that made him instantly likeable. From the War of independence onwards the Briscoe family did the Irish state some service with a fidelity that sadly was not reciprocated by one scoundrelly senior civil servant. May I say how ashamed of my country I was when Ben shared the details with me. Like Leopold Bloom, Ben was a true Dublin Jew. May his memory be a blessing
