    First Minister Paul Givan said:

    “There is a real sense of loss following the death of Pat Hume. Not just among her friends and family – and my thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time – but for the many lives she touched, both directly and indirectly.

    “It is a testament to her legacy that people from all backgrounds, near and far, are tonight joined in sadness to mark her passing.”

    Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill said:

    “I was very sad to hear about the death of Pat Hume. Pat was a strong and determined person whose immense contribution to our peace is recognised across this island and across the world.
