Sincere sympathies to Adrienne, Cliodhna, Conor and Dara and all of Declan's extended family on his sad passing. I have fond memories of when Declan and Dara, along with Auntie Mary and Uncle Eamonn, used to visit us in Renmore when they were on holidays in Galway.
Declan was always in good form and a positive and kind person to be with it.
We enjoyed playing some golf in Salthill and the long cycle out to and home from the golf course.
Rest in peace Declan.

I was so very sorry to hear about Declan’s passing. He was such a kind and genuine man—always warm, always ready for a chat, and so clearly devoted to his family and his community.

His strength in overcoming health challenges and his dedication to the residents committee showed the kind of person he was—quietly determined, generous with his time, and deeply caring. He made a real difference to those around him, and it was always a pleasure to see him and share a few words.

Declan was a wonderful father, husband, and friend, and I know he’ll be missed so deeply by everyone who knew him.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts are with you all at this incredibly difficult time.

Warmest regards, Debbie
