So sorry to hear of Coli's passing and our deepest sympathy to Inger Sofie and all the family. Rest in peace.
I only heard of Coli’s passing today which I can’t believe may he rest in peace. I knew Coli since I was 15 years old cutting his grass to then working for him in Gilroy mc Mahon in Dublin.
And he then became my tutor while
I was studying architecture. He was a lovely man and a great tutor and architect. My thoughts are with you all
I was so sorry to hear the news of Coli's untimely death. I worked with Gilroy Mc Mahon for five years in the late 1990s and met Coli a few times after that through my teaching. He was always so energetic and interested in architecture. I recall his enthusiasm as I showed him around the End of Year Show in our school at TU Dublin. I am sorry that I could not attend the funeral due to teaching commitments. My sincere condolences to Inger Sofie, Anders and all the family.
My sincerest condolences to Inger Sofie and family.
I have only just learned of Coli's sad passing. One of the most decent people you could hope to meet, a pleasure to have known him. My sincere condolences to his family.
I am saddened to hear of Coli's passing. I had always admired the work of Gilroy McMahon in the 90s and was delighted to get to work with him on a project in recent years. He made a significant contribution to Irish architecture. May he rest in peace.
