Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan has reportedly died.

According to reputable sources Finance Minister Brian Lenihan (T.D) has died.

The Late Brian Lenihan RIP

Paramedics were called to the family home at around 6pm & despite frantic attempts to revive him were unable to do so.

The Minister had been suffering from pancreatic cancer, however it was believed that his cancer was under control.

Mr. Lenihan is survived by his wife Patricia and two children.

He is the brother of Conor Lenihan T.D - Minister of State & is also a nephew of Fianna Fail Senator Mary O'Rourke.

Additional information will be made available as it comes in.

This reporter would like to extend her deepest sympathies to both the Lenihan family & to those close to the Minister.

Not true, just a troll

This is not true. It is just the work of a troll who is believed to have a grudge against indymedia. Same person is believed to have posted the false story about Thatcher also kicking the bucket a few weeks ago.
Please remove.

too much time on their hands and little to do. It defies belief that some Irish idiot would post this crap twice. I am sure he/she is having a giggle and tossing off at the same time. Sad prick!
