Statement by President Higgins on the death of Liam Miller

Date: Sat 10th Feb, 2018 | 15:55

It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of Liam Miller, who brought such skill and passion to his career in football, at home and abroad.

In his too short life he contributed so much, from his making his professional debut in 2000 and earning his first cap for the Republic of Ireland in 2004, going on to play for clubs such as  Cork City, Celtic, Manchester United and Hibernian. 

As President of Ireland I send my condolences to his family and friends, and to all those who love and support Irish sport and who will keenly feel his loss.
