Former SDLP Assembly member PJ Bradley has died.
Mr Bradley, 76, was a fierce advocate for his community of Burren near Newry.
The former estate agent was a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly from 1998 until 2011 where he was the party spokesman on agriculture and represented South Down.
Before that, the married father-of-eight served on Newry and Mourne District Council.
He was a huge Gaelic games supporter and Down follower.
James Larkin, the socialist trade unionist, lived in Burren and Mr Bradley organised a major conference there marking his legacy.
Since he retired Mr Bradley had written two books about his local area and his own involvement in the community.
Former SDLP leaders Dr Alasdair McDonnell and Margaret Ritchie also paid tribute.
