The Fianna Fáil government under Seán Lemass awarded him the honour of a state funeral, which was attended by the cabinet, the leaders of all the main Irish political parties, and Éamon de Valera, then President of Ireland.

* Sean Francis Lemass, Taoiseach of Ireland from 1959 – 1966, was of Huguenot immigrants who settled in Dublin.

Less than a decade later, he became Chief Justice, when selected by then Taoiseach, Seán Lemass.

The new Taoiseach, Seán Lemass, began the process of retiring de Valera's ministers, many of whom had first become ministers in the de Valera cabinet of 1932.

Under Lemass, party elders such as James Ryan, Seán MacEntee and Paddy Smith retired and a new generation of politicians were introduced to government such as Brian Lenihan, Donogh O ' Malley, Charles Haughey and Neil Blaney.

Lemass resigned as Taoiseach and leader of Fianna Fáil in November 1966, a shock to many of his political friends.

Hillery was invited by Lemass to allow his name to go forward for the leadership of the party, however, he declined explaining that he had no interest.

Many historians have suggested that Hillery was Lemass's first choice to succeed him, however others have said that the Lemass pecking order went as follows: Jack Lynch, Hillery and George Colley.

In spite of this Hillery was not interested in the top job in government and, in the end, Lynch succeeded Lemass after a leadership contest with Colley.

It is unclear whether the choice was made by Lemass directly as Taoiseach, or by the cabinet against his wishes.

In 1962 Lemass appointed Haughey as Minister for Agriculture.

But the state-run Telifís Éireann, facing criticism from Lemass ' government for being too radical in other areas, agreed and largely ignored the O ' Higgins campaign.

Haughey declared his candidature to succeed Lemass in the consequent leadership election.

Lemass himself, encouraged his Minister for Finance, Jack Lynch, to contest the party leadership.

Lemass also encouraged Colley, Haughey and Blaney to withdraw in favour of Lynch, realising that they would not win the contest.

Seán Francis Lemass ( 15 July 1899 – 11 May 1971 ) was one of the most prominent Irish politicians of the 20th century.

A veteran of the 1916 Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War, Lemass was first elected as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála ( TD ) for the Dublin South constituency in a by-election on 18 November 1924 and was returned at each election until the constituency was abolished in 1948, when he was re-elected for Dublin South – Central until his retirement in 1969.
