Solàs na bhFlaitheàs dò.
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Colm Flynn. Since the 1960’s
Colm was part of the texture of Ennis through the Post Officd, the boxing and the G.A.A.

My first memory of Colm goes much further back, to 1955. When I was 7 years of age, I got meningitis and was sent over to the old Fever hospital where I was in isolation. One day, as I was recovering, I was out in the grounds and look down over the wall to a huge garden next door. It was the home of the Flynn family. Two older boys were playing football near an orchard. They came over and we started chatting. They were Colm and I think his brother Paddy. Every day I would go to the wall and they would give me apples and copies of the comics of the time “The Dandy” and “The Beano”.

An early example of Colm’s kindness.
Our sincere condolences to Ciara, Paudie, Seanie and all of Colum's extended family. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Kay and all the Flynn Family on the very sad passing of Colm who was one of Clare's greatest people for his unstinting work for Boxing GAA and his fantastic treatment of injured people from all over the country and at all times of the day and night.

On the loss of Colum. A true gentleman.May he rest in peace.
Our deepest condolences to the family and Friends at the sad passing of Colum. If ever a person lived and breathed sport, in particular the GAA, it was Colum. His association with some of the greatest moments in (not alone the Hurling world of our County), but the County itself.
There's an old saying that says, "It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it's what you leave behind when you go"
There is little doubt that Colum has left a legacy.
May he rest in peace.
My deepest sympathy to Kay and family at this very sad time of Colm’s passing. I Bhlaitheas Dé go raibh a anam dilís. Christy Killeen
Sincere condolences to Colm's wife , Kay , family and extended family on his recent sad passing . His reflective insights into the human condition & his remarkable generosity of spirit endeared him to everyone fortunate enough to have encountered him in this life . May his gentle soul rest in peace .
My sincere apologies for not being able to be there earlier — I was abroad with work and only returned in time for the guard of honour at the graveyard in Drumcliffe.
Colum was such a remarkable man. He had a way of lifting your spirits simply by being in his company, and anyone who met him was the better for it. His kindness, warmth, and gentle presence will be remembered by all of us who were lucky enough to know him.
Thinking of you and the entire family at this very difficult time.
May Colum rest in peace!

Deepest sympathy to Kay and all the family on the passing of Colum from this world, a world he loved. Had bumped into Kay at the Tesco Shopping Centre a few weeks back and Kay advised that Colum was unwell. I was very sorry to hear that as over the years I had got to know Colum rather well. Years back in my Football days, Colum was the person to go to with any injuries you might have. You would call to the house and there was always Sportspeople from Galway, Limerick and Clare as well as others in need of attention. They all knew that Colum was a most experienced Physio and if anyone was to get you sorted, it was Colum. Later, when I took on the challenge of running some Marathons in the early 80s, Colum again came to my aid when I experienced some disc issues in my back. Looking back now, Colum helped so many people over the years and he did it with such kindness. In more recent times, Colum was a great supporter of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland " Burren Walk " in Fanore. We all know that Kay and her County Committee helped Gerry Howard and I with the catering,etc., and without their help it would not have been the Fundraising success that it was for all of 17 years. Colum used love to help out and also walk up the mountain and interact with others on the way. He was so well known to all. May Colum's Gentle Soul now Rest in Peace. Amen.
