Date: Sat 17th Jun, 2017 | 10:06


"It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of Dick Warner.

He was a dedicated environmentalist as well as a  wonderful filmmaker, and his beautiful work on the canals of Ireland was outstanding.

Only last month, at an event celebrating the 200th anniversary of the opening of the Royal Canal, I referred to his dedication and skill in describing the rich heritage of our inland waterways.

Sabina and I wish to express our sympathy with his family and wide circle of friends."
