People can pay their respects online or at Offaly County Council.

John Hume has taught us to bridge the divides within our communities.

That's according to Cathaoirleach of Offaly County Council John Carroll as he opened a book of condolence for the former Northern Irish politician.

People are welcome to pay their respects at Áras an Chontae in Tullamore or online.

Funeral mass for the 83 year old will take place in his native Derry tomorrow morning.

Independent Councillor Carroll says Mr. Hume's work in the peace process is a lesson to us all:
