As a man he was kindly , sincere , active and untiring in the service of those he loved ; open , liberal , just and honourable . A knowledge of twenty years enables us to vouch for his virtues and to say he was an individual of whom his country might be proud We believe he was a native of Limerick , and about fifty years of age .
