Deepest sympathy to Una, Ethna and Finola, nieces and nephews on your very sad loss of Colm RIP.. It came as a shock to learn on Saturday morning of Colm's passing but to a better place and united with Sean.

Colm's many presentations on RTE radio on Personalities made for gripping listening. Likewise his interviews with his late good friend Weeshie Fogarty on "In Conversations" on Radio Kerry about his books, his battle with illness etc. were fascinating listening.

Remembering you all in our prayers at this very sad time.
