r Healy, whose death occurred just three weeks after that of his wife, Delia, was described this week as an ‘absolute gentleman’ by his neighbour, Cllr Michael Looney. “He was the first person to welcome me to Berrings when I moved here years ago,” said the Fianna Fáil elected member of Macroom and Millstreet Municipal District Council.
