To Christines family, my sincerest condolences and admiration for a true inspiration to us all may she rest in peace and may her courage live on.

Dear Donal and Family,

We were so sad to hear of Christine's passing. We have so many fond memories of evenings spent in her and your company Donal here in Portugal. Christine was so nice and so very kind to my nephews in particular. She will remain forever alive in our memories. We pray that the love of your family and friends comforts you during these difficult days.

Christine you spoke for all of us thank you, now rest in peace i will keep you in my prayers.

To my dearest friend and fellow survivor/co founder of the Aislinn Centre Christine I am missing a chunk of my heart. I have lost a soul mate, a champion for all survivors, a campaigner, the most selfless person I have ever met. You had no pretensions whatsoever and hated all of the accolades. All you wanted to do was to share them with fellow survivors. We were friends for a long time. We know each other inside out I will miss you forever no one can ever take your palace. I was privileged to have you as my best friend. I will continue your journey and continue the campaign. It is only the next chapter and your memory will live on as long as I have life in me. We were a special team Christine gone but never forgotten. May you Rest in Peace forever your fight is finally over may you dance now with all of the Holy Angels. Love as always your buddy Carmel McDonnell-Byrne forever in my heart and thank you for being my friend.

Rest In peace Christine thank you for all u have done for the children of Ireland xxx

So deeply sorry on the death of Christine. I never met her but admired her greatly from afar. She was the voice of so many children who were brutalised by religious orders. How lucky Irish people are to have had this lady speak up against all the odds and criticism.

Sincere sympathy on the passing of your dear Christina .May she rest in peace.

Donal and Family
Please accept our very sincere sympathy on the death of Christine.

To a brave lady may you rest in peace amongst the angels. Hope you get the love and hugs a child should revived in their childhood. To a family of a beautiful wife mother and friend sincere sympathy. Catherine Mcdonagh and family

Sincere sympathy rip

My sincere condolences to the Buckley family on your great loss, a loss that is shared by all us abuse survivors. I thank Christina for giving child abuse victims a voice and for her unwavering spirit in getting what happened to her and so many others believed. It was voices like Christina's that awakened something in me to acknowledge that I do was abused. May Christina rest in peace, she is safe now and she is believed.

Remembering Christine and her ability through her own experience to give a voice to so many people who were made voiceless. Thanking you for your courage and strength and the inspiration you gave to so many of us over many years. To your family and loved ones, I wish you comfort at this sad time.

rest in peace pet your work is done so so brave xxxxx

I did not know Christine or any member of her family however, I am compelled to write a "thank you" message to a great lady who spoke with passion about and for children who were abused. You were a beacon of light when we were in darkness and I hope you are now reaping your long overdue reward.
May you rest in peace and may your spirit live on in all abuse survivors

Rest in peace Christine - a wonderful Lady.

Just wanted to offer my condolences to the family on the death of Christina. A wonderful brave woman who stood up and told her story and gave so much inspiration and hope to so many throughout this land of ours and beyond. Never had the joy of meeting her but just watching her and listening to her was enough to make me admire her and respect what she was speaking about. May this wonderful woman now Rest in Peace.

I never met Christine but I feel as though I do know her. What an inspirational, brave woman who will be fondly remembered for many years to come. Ireland has lost one of its brightest lights. Condolences to christine's family and friends.

My thoughts with the family and friends of Christine Buckley, a true inspiration and a very courageous lady who will forever be etched in the hearts of Irish people for her tireless and brave work. R.I.P.

May one of the bravest and courageous people that we will ever know in our lifetime rest in peace.

I did't know Chriistine ,but like most people in Ireland I knew her Story.RIP

Deepest sympathy to the family. What a lady she made you want to be a better person.

Our thought going to you all. Christina was an inspiration.........
Rest in Peace

Peace at last for a very brave and beautiful person, you are in my prayers along with your family, thank you Christine your strength will never be matched

Rest in peace Christine , a very brave woman . Thank you for speaking out .

May you soul now rest in peace with others that have gone before you.I know what you and many other have endured through your short life on this earth. GB survivors never forget. You now have the peace that you so richly deserve.

RIP Christine - I remember reading the papers at 13 years of age when you first brought to light the suffering experienced in the Goldenbridge Scandal. Thank God you would not be silenced. You were an inspirational woman to a lot people. Sleep well with the Angels.

I didn't know Christine Buckley and never had the privilege of meeting her but I've always admired her dignity, her courage and her compassion since I first heard her on the Gay Byrne show all those year ago. When the history of this Banana Republic is written for the last 20 years or so, she will go down as a true national hero and an example to us all for uncovering the shocking institutional child abuse that went on for so long perpetrated by so called men and women of the cloth and aided and abetted by faceless officials and politicians, may they hang their heads in shame. Christine demonstrated the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, may she rest in peace.

our deepest sympathy to Donal and all the family ,our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Danny and Madge Deegan

Donal I'm terribly sorry to hear about Christine. My condolences, I'll be thinking of you today.

A brave and courageous fighter, right up until she fell asleep. Rest in peace

Thank you Christine for your bravery in speaking out when few people would hear you. You have helped to make Ireland a better place. Wishing that your family and friends and people who knew you away from the public eye will have many great memories to sustain them.

Cliona and family, my deepest sympathies on the passing of your fabulous mum. She was such an amazing, strong, courageous and inspiring lady but just as importantly I remember her as a very loving mum standing at the door waiting on you to come home from school (or possibly waiting for me to stop talking!) My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad time. May her light shine bright in heaven always. Rest in Peace.
