I've just heard that Sinn Fein Cllr Michael McAnespie of Omagh District Council for Mid Ulster, has died today. An accident to do with a bull.

Rest in Peace Mickey.

QuoteCouncillor dies in farm accident 

A Sinn Fein councillor has died following a farming accident in County Tyrone.

Michael McAnespie was killed during the incident earlier on Monday.

The accident happened on a farm in Lough McCrory, near Omagh. Mr McAnespie was elected to the mid-Tyrone area for Sinn Fein in 1997.

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams expressed his "deep shock and sadness" at the death. Mr McAnespie was a married man with nine children.

"Michael was an extremely hard working councillor who ably and conscientiously represented the people of Omagh," said Mr Adams.

"His loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him, but especially by his family and friends."
