Alliance Party Leader David Ford has paid tribute to Monsignor Denis Faul, who died today.

Speaking in Antrim, David Ford stated: "I was sorry to hear of the passing of Monsignor Denis Faul, a man who was always true to his faith.

"He always spoke as he saw things, no matter who was made uncomfortable by the things he said.

"He will be remembered for his contribution to ending the hunger strike, and his concern for victims right across the community in latter years.

"I and everyone in the Alliance Party send my condolences to his family and the many people who knew him well."
