“I have known and respected the Barton and Keenan families for many years and they have played a very influential part in the life of the community and republican politics in Derry,” said Mr McGuinness.
“Padraig, event though young in years, made his unique contribution through his involvement with republican youth groups in the city.”
Mr McGuinness passed away on March 21, 2017.
