Fermanagh & South Tyrone Ulster Unionist MLA Tom Elliott has paid tribute to former Oaklee Housing Chief Executive Ian Elliott.

Tom said: “Ian was originally from Fermanagh where his father Wilson Elliott was a long-standing Ulster Unionist Councillor.

“Ian worked for spell at Ulster Unionist Party Headquarters in Belfast, before moving into the Housing Sector where he had a long and successful career, being highly respected within that sphere.

“Our sincere sympathy to Ian’s wife and family at this difficult time.”
