TRIBUTES are being paid this evening following the death of Letterkenny man Frank Larkin.
Well known for his work as a disability rights campaigner, Mr Larkin passed away today after falling ill earlier this week. He was 48.
Frank Larkin lived with the condition spina bifida but never let it get in the way of his full and busy life. He was a regular attendee on the frontline when it came to fighting for the rights of people with disabilities and was recently very vocal on the lack of wheelchair-accessible polling stations in Donegal.
In one of his last Facebook posts, penned at the weekend, Frank wrote simply, “What an absolutely glorious Sunday morning here in Letterkenny.”
A son of Frank and Bridgeen, Frank is survived by his wife Pauline, brothers Paul and Gareth and sisters Louise, Geraldine, Olga, Sharon and Linda and wider family circle.
