Adrian McLOUGHLIN

I had three very lovely 'BIG BROTHERS' on this earth and now I only have one left on this earth. Adrian......, ye were/are all very special to me, and each were/are special and are for your own unique reasons. As sisters we were lucky to have such lovely caring brothers who would look out for their big and younger sisters!!!. Poor Noel he is left to look after the 'BABY SISTER and now 'THE BIG SISTERS', not an easy job to be left with!!!!!. Not sure which is more difficult looking after ' the baby sister' or the 'big sisters'!!!!. Anyway, I hope our lovely Mum, and our gorgeous, kind, caring and fun loving brothers are together at peace together and most of all having a laugh and a good ole chat together. May ye all rest in peace, and whenever fate allows I look forward to the day we are all together....! Love Maria xxooxx

Rest in eternal paradise Skinner. You will never be forgotten. You always brought a smile to everyone that crossed your path. You'll be sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Ellen and your family. Love from the Lingi kids xx

Vale, Adrian (Skinner) McLoughlin - , - Adrian had a unique talent for uniting and organising construction workers. Adrian was a true working class hero and he is well respected for his achievements in the construction industry in Melbourne and throughout Australia. Adrian will be missed.

Skinner,
You will be remembered by all of us at the CFMEU as a courageous, principled leader of workers. Thousands of construction workers benefited from your hard work and comradeship.
A true son of Ireland, a socialist and a republican, honesty and integrity were your hallmarks.
Personally, I am lucky to have had twenty five years of your friendship. I will remember all of our good times, arguments and adventures as long as I live. I will always think back to our time together in Dublin only two weeks ago; only a true Dubliner could have showed me the city as you did.
We are all sad beyond words at losing you.
To Ellen and to all of Adrian's family, you are in our thoughts. Amidst your sorrow, you can be proud of Adrian and know that Adrian will always be loved and remembered by his Australian union comrades.

You've touched the lives of thousands Big Man with so much fun,laughter & charity on this earth. May God & the angels above welcome you home and until we meet again keep them all laughing in Heaven.

Deepest Sympathy is extended to Skinners family circle. Always a true fighter and always there for his pals. Sleep well Mo Chara. You will never be forgotten

To a great Loyal Mate, a Larkin with the best intentions who was always there for me night and day, who made me laugh and now unbelievably sad.

A good Samaritan who's home was always open to all in need ,be it for a chat or a bed. Took strangers out of the gutters and gave them an opportunity when they thought there was none.

I will very much miss our walks, the laughter, conversations and all the great craic we had.

My thoughts are with Ellen, his much loved father and family
