An empathetic, witty, and beautiful man. It was a privilege to know you, Conal. Sending much love to your family. XOX from Anne.

We were very saddened to hear of Conal's passing. We enjoyed many visits to the Enterprise during the years of the Floating Theatre company when we were on the water full time ourselves. Conal was a gentleman, a force of nature, a unique spirit and took an interest in everyone and everything. Our condolences to his family, he will be sadly missed.

So sorry to hear of Conal's recent passing. I only got to meet him on a few occasions at the Easter rising commemoration ceremony in Glasnevin cemetery when he had asked my daughter Ciara to sing our National Anthem in recent years at uncle Peadar's graveside. A second cousin and lovely man whom i would like to have got to know better. My deepest sympathies to all of Conal's family. Sean Considine.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the Kearney family on the sad death of Conal.Sorry I wasn’t there today but I was thinking of you all with much love and sadness ❤️

It’s with my deepest sympathy and heartfelt sadness that I give my condolences to the Kearney family. Conal was one of the most kindest, loving, empathetic joyful individuals I have ever known. I recall my time with Conal when I visited Ireland over the years. My most memorable was visiting him when he had the barge and going down the grande canal and stopping at the quaint towns along the way. He was definitely in his element and enjoyed performing and teaching the younger generation. I will remember the fun times of singing and throwing back a couple of pints in the towns we visited. I will always cherish those times with him dearly. Rest in peace my dear cousin. I know I will see you again one day when the Lord calls me home as well. God bless! Your loving cousin Seamus. Cheers!

Our sincere sympathies to Conal’s family and close friends. We were lucky to enjoy Conal’s company on many fun evenings in Kenilworth Park. He always brought great craic, humour and a deep interest in people. Very happy memories.

J'ai souvent entendu parler de Conal à l'Ecole de Mimodrame de Paris de Marcel Marceau, où je travaillais dans les Années 80. Je l'ai retrouvé ensuite, sur le Réseau Planète MiMe.
Je savais qu'il entraînait nombre d'amis.

Planète MiMe, en mon nom, présente ses condoléances et son soutien à sa famille et à ses proches.

So sad at the loss of a dear cousin.
Many happy memories.
Rest in peace.

With sadness we extend our condolences to you Eva, Bríd, Pearse agus Peadar and the extended family on the death of your beloved Conal.
He was such a knowledgeable, artistic man, always willing to share that knowledge.
Living in Curragreen, the home of his Galway ancestors, his contribution to the Burke Family Tree compiled by Kieran Burke is so interesting.
Today's ceremony in his memory was a fitting farewell to Conal.
He will be missed by many and loved by all who knew him, especially you his family.

Ni bheidh a leithéid go deó.
Slán go fóill cousin.

Conal,you where a true gentleman.

We feel grateful we got to know Conal in 2022 and see him doing what he was passionate about; acting. Everyone around him who trained under him always spoke so highly of Conal. An impact we could all wish to leave in the world. Our condolences.

Deepest condolences to all the family.

I first met Conal in 1973 at a Theatre workshop in Gormanston College and had the privilege of working with him over the next decade with TEAM, the ITC, Project Arts Centre and Moving Theatre.

Conal was a true innovator whose creativity, talent and dedication to his work inspired us all. He was also a beloved friend and brought love and joy to those of us lucky to have known him. He holds a special place in my heart.

My dear cousin Conal, I am so saddened to hear of your passing. A great cousin you were, from helping guide me in my early years in life, to showing my family The Best of Ireland. I am forever grateful, may you rest in peace. My sincere condolences to all of my cousins and all of Conal’s friends. Ireland has lost a great ambassador.

I was extremely saddened today to read of the death of Conal. Sending my deepest sympathy to his nearest and dearest. He was much loved and will be forever missed. May you rest peacefully dear Cousin.

Deepest sympathy to Conal's family and friends. My last memory of him is in the Galmount Hotel holding court during a Film Fleadh...always charming and lovely. May he rest in peace

Brid, sincere condolences on the passing of your brother Conal. May he Rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear of the your sad loss . A unique talent .. Halcyon days in the Abbey with Conal , great memories .

Conal was one of the first wave of Irish students to attend Ecole Marcel Marceau with Jonathan Lambert and Vincent O'Neill in the 80's. I went the year after they all graduated. He gave me great advice on surviving the challenging school it was, including a great recipe for Ratatouille which he said , with rice, was a cheap but great dish that would keep me going on the meagre savings I had to get me through my first year.He was so right.He was funny, kind and passionate. Such a nice man in every way. R.I.P Conal and thank you. Sincerest condolences to all the family.

Condolences to all conal’s family and friends. May he RIP.

Brid,So sorry to hear of your brother Conal’s passing, sincere condolences to you & all the family, may he rest in eternal peace.

Met Conal a long time ago when he was substitute teacher of mime and movement at the old Oscar Theatre Ballsbridge.
He was always an open, honest friendly and warm personality and a great and enthusiastic teacher.
Sad to hear of his passing, may he rest in peace.

I first met Conal in the 1970s when he was a young actor with Gemini Productions. After many years, I renewed the connection through our mutual good friends, Aisling and Derek. We always had warm, lively conversations recalling figures from stage and theatre. He knew everyone! He was immensely proud of his grandfather, Peadar Kearney, and in 2016, our paths crossed again when I was filming an item on Amhran na bhFiann for RTE. As ever, Conal was passionate and engaged. RIP Conal.

To dear Conal , a pleasure knowing you , a true gentleman ! May you fly with the angels !! RIP xx

My sincere sympathy to Conal's Family, extended family and friends. He was a true gentleman and always had s smile for everyone in the Aislinn Centre. He was a brilliant drama teacher and everyone loved him. May he rest in peace.

I met Conal through his work with the Aislinn (later Christine Buckley) Centre.

He had a sense of fun, great patience and enthusiasm about people’s talents and potential. He had a warm and welcoming presence combined with a great work ethic. He was hugely popular within the centre and quite simply a lovely human.

I hope his family are comforted by the knowledge of his positive impact on others through his work.

Very sad to hear of Conal's passing, lovely memories of working with him to bring the barge theatre along the Grand Canal route from Edenderry to Banagher (2005 to 2008) to schools and communities. He brought great joy and enthusiasm to every production, inspired countless young people to perform with confidence and was a pleasure to work with. Rest in peace Conal.

Rest in Peace Conal, Thanks for all your help and Support, while we were all in The Aislinn Centre, With Christine Buckly , Carmel and Bernie.


Here are a few lines of Poetry I wrote in memory of you and those Days.


A rising tide lifts all boats .
The sea of justice is now afloat.

Peace and rest to your, artistic mercurial soul, and hearthy spirit, of love ,life and fun.

Heartfelt condolences to Eva, Brīd, Pearse and Peadar on the sad passing of your beloved brother Conal. He was one of nature’s gentlemen and it was a privilege to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Conal was my drama teacher in the Aislinn Centre which then became the Christine Buckley Centre after she died in 2014. One of the projects Conal helped us with was to write the song The Aislinn Dream as a tribute to Christine. Thank you Conal for all your help. May you rest in peace. Maria Byrne

Conal was not just a part of the magic of my childhood, he was inseparable from it. He was the essence of a generous spirit, casting a spell of joy wherever he went. Death is so unfair but the piece of my heart which he created will glow through all of my days. Rest in peace Conal, a chara

I'm deeply saddened to hear of the untimely death of Conal. What a super selfless guy who worked in the Aislinn Centre now known as Christine Buckley Centre. Not alone was he a drama therapist, but he was so kind with his time. He treated our clients with dignity and instilled a sense of self-worth to all. Before he came to our centre, Conal taught all 4 of my children drama. He had such a gift for teaching and made classes so much fun. Conal, you will be missed you gave so much of your time and expertise way beyond the call of duty. May you rest in peace with the holy angels. Say hello to Christine. Carmel McDonnell Byrne Co-Founder Christine Buckley Centre Dublin

So sorry to hear of Conal’s passing. I so loved his energy and smiles. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. Fear maith.

So sad that Conal has left us. I didn’t meet him enough in life but the times I did, either bumping into him on the streets of Galway or meeting him at my sister Aisling’s house, he always brought a smile, positive energy and an acute interest in other human beings. His creative energy and passion for life touched all who met him. He will be sorely missed. Deepest sympathies to his family and friends at this sad time. May he rest in peace. A new twinkling dancing star will now be looking over us all.

Conal we loved all the stories and chats you shared with us and all the family and will cherish our time with you.
Your friendship with Jill was full of laughter & we will remember your wonderful charm love and conversations. Rest in Peace . X

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Conal. A wonderful, talented artist and always kind human.

Rest in Peace Conal. 🕊️🤍🎭

I want to offer my sincere condolences to Brid, Eva, Peadar& Pearse on the passing of their dear brother Conal . May he rest in perfect peace after a very varied & interesting life.
I got to know Conal through drama & a play The Tain which was held in Castlegar Complex through the Good Shepherd Parish in 2013. He also was researching the history of the area.
He was so professional & also fun & a very interesting man .
His name came up in conversation recently about his involvement in the DRA community.
Thinking of you all during those difficult days . ❤️

Conal made us so proud as the “Irish” Marcel Marceau. We never missed an opportunity to mention that he was from “The Anne’s”.
Unknowingly he spread a deeper theatrical culture among us all.
Heartfelt condolences

Deepest sympathy to Conal's family on his passing. I knew Conal from the days starting out as an actor in the 1980's. A lovely actor and true gentleman, always supportive. RIP
