Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Seamus Ryan has paid tribute to former TD Brian O’Shea who died peacefully today, Wednesday, January 28th, 2026.
“I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Brian’s wife Eileen, his children Christine, Anne, Siobhán, Mary, Paddy and John, his extended family, friends and many Labour Party colleagues.
“Having been elected to Waterford Corporation, Waterford County Council and Tramore Town Commissioners, Brian had a distinguished political career, serving the people of Waterford with pride, dedication and commitment. As a Senator and latterly a TD, Brian served as Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture and Department of Health, and while these were significant national portfolios, it was his dedication to and advocacy for Waterford that he will be long remembered and respected for. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.”
