Sinn Fein President extends condolences on the passing of John Hume | Derry Journal |

The Sinn Fein President added: "John leaves a lasting legacy and the international and national esteem in which he is held is immense. There is no better example of that than his receipt of the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize.

"Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís.
