John Taylor: David Trimble was a great and loyal Ulsterman
A statement from Lord Kilclooney, issued on July 25:
I am absolutely shattered at the news that my colleague David Trimble has passed away.
For many years we shared an office at Westminster and I served as his deputy leader in the Commons throughout the negotiations that resulted in the Belfast Agreement.
I know how much he contributed in time and work to advance the lives of all in Northern Ireland. He was a great and loyal Ulsterman.
I extend to his wife Daphne and all the family my sincere sympathy.
Lord (John) Kilclooney, Co Armagh
