David Ervine
Posted on Monday, January 8, 2007David Ervine died today. This was a guy who came from the heartland of bigotry and reached out across the divide. Whatever you think of his personal flaws, at least he tried, which is more than you could say for most of them.
Some people didn’t like him, but so what?
I salute him. I even admire him.
Stumble it!

Must agree totally, an inspiration to us all, Irish politics will be a sadder place without him but hopefully his past efforts will be inspiration to others carry on the good work in the future.

Hello.
My name is Shane Ervine.
David is my Uncle (his brother William is my Grandfather), however we live in Australia.
I had only ever met David once when I was 15 when he visited Australia.
Thanks very much for the kind words, he was a man who did wrong, but whom seen what was right and tried to make up for it and correct himself. A true man of the people.
RIP Uncle.
