Summary
Former Clare TD James Breen has been honoured as 'a marvellous man with great community spirit' at his funeral mass this afternoon. The Kilnamona native who spent 32 years serving this county, passed away peacefully on Wednesday night at 81 years of age. Having first been elected to Clare County Council in 1985, he was returned at every local election he contested thereafter. During today's ceremony a hymn book, commemorative tie and James' signature black hat were brought forward to symbolise his passion for politics, GAA, farming and his faith. Parish Priest Fr Martin Shanahan says his presence would make a room come alive.
