Sincere condolences to Dearbhla, Ben and Emily from Neil, Valerie, Emma and Rachel McDonnell. A great man, a great loss.

Dear Dearbhla, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of David. He was a warm, gentle, witty and brilliant man, always great fun in company and full of positivity and pleasantness. I will always remember him when you’d arrive in together to a dinner at Ciara’s, the pair of you so happy and full of joy. I can only imagine how much you will miss him. You had too short a time together. I hope you find solace over the coming months in remembering all the great times, and how happy you were together. In the times ahead without him I hope the loneliness is bearable and that you will find comfort in your family. To you and to all the family, mo mhór chomhbhrón. Go dtuga Dia suaimhneas síoraí dá anam uasal. Catherine Foley

My sincere condolences to Dearbhla and David’s entire family, thinking of you all at this very sad time.
I didn’t know David personally but I felt I did, having listened to his broadcasts all through the 90’s, he made sense of all that was going on and I believe his honest reporting with his positive tint indirectly helped bring about the peace process.
David was obviously also a wonderful father & friend may he rest in eternal peace.

Deepest sympathy for the loss of an exceptional person with superb funeral music and tributes

Deepest sympathy to you Nick, and to all of your family, on the passing of your Dad, David. May he rest in eternal peace.

David and I were neighbours on the South Circular Road, living just a few houses apart. However, it was not until his first year in university that we became friends, after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance.
I spent many a night at David’s home, in front of the fire, listening to music and
talking, sometimes into the early hours. Our discussions were sometimes intense, but never boring. David was great company. Good times! I’m sad at his passing.

My condolences to his family at their great loss.

Our deepest sympathy, Dearbhla, to you and all David's family on his death. It is so sad that you have lost him so soon. May the good memories of your years together bring you solace. Suaimhneas sioraí do.

Heartfelt and sincerest sympathy to Dearbhla and all the family on the very sad passing of your beloved David. May
the cherished memories you have of him help comfort you all at this very sad time. Even though I never met him, I felt I knew him. He was such a brilliant reporter, journalist and broadcaster. I always stopped and listened to him whenever he was on the radio or television. He was so informative and his delivery of a story was second to none. I tuned into his magnificent Mass, it was an absolute credit to you. From start to finish it was so dignified, the music and singing were just amazing and what wonderful words were spoken about him from his family and friends. All well deserved. A wonderful send off to a fantastic man. We will all miss him. May David rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to Nick and family on your sad loss.

Deepest sympathy to Dearbhla and the Davin Power and Collins families on the sad passing of David. May he rest in peace.

I’m so shocked and saddened to hear this news. My deepest sympathies to Caroline, Nick, Julia and Mary & Andy, Charlie & Manus and all the family. David was such a kind, funny person & a true gentleman. I have such wonderful memories of my first tour of Belfast with David giving the running commentary. What a privilege to experience & learn about the North through him in the mid 90s, even though I didn’t understand all the politics at the time. He was so good to me as a young kid & I was treated like one of his own. He was a loving father, with a beautiful family and we were lucky to have such wonderful neighbours. I’m so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace David 🙏

To Dearbhla and family condolences on the passing of David. He made a huge contribution to Irish political life and was widely respected as a fair and balanced journalist. May he rest in peace.

A very sad day. Sincere sympathies

My sincerest sympathy to David's family and friends on his untimely passing. I had the pleasure of meeting David at the IMI when on an executive leadership course, he was interviewing participants for a simulated radio programme, a really interesting person who put participants at ease and was genuinely interested in the subject matter. I also recall a brilliant journalist on RTE News during my formative years, where he excelled, particularly in his role as Northern Editor during the peace process and laterally as political correspondent. An all round gentleman who has left a wonderful legacy for which his family can be justifiably proud.

Sincere sympathy to the Davin - Power family, on the sad passing of David. A noble oak has fallen in the forest. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis agus uasal. Ann and Aidan White, Shannon, Co. Clare
