Heaney and Ervine

I only met David Ervine a few times but like most people I found him to be good humoured, intelligent and above all one of the few straight talking sensible politicians in the Assembly. In times of difficulty he will always be missed.

"Education, according to the poet Robert Frost, changes the plane of regard - and David Ervine would have agreed.

"He was an exemplary man of our place and our peace, somebody who believed that where there was a right word there was a right way, and acted accordingly."
