Second Deemster David Doyle

A Eulogy to the First Deemster was read in the Courthouse this morning.

Second Deemster David Doyle paid tribute to Mike Kerruish, saying he was respected as a judge and authorative, as well as well liked and approachable.

Members of the Manx judiciary and court staff were present, and held a minutes silence after the eulogy.

Deemster Kerruish died last week following a battle with a long term illness.

His funeral takes place on Friday at Lonan Church.
