Donncha Ó DÚLAING

Sincere sympathy to Fergal, Ruairi, Donal, Donncha and extended family on the sad loss of dear Donncha. Lovely memories of Donncha and his RTE radio colleagues having tea in our home, at Derrygeel, Lanesboro. A beautiful live Sunday afternoon radio programme on Mc Grath Picinc was broadcast from banks of river Shannon Lanesboro. Donncha interviewed so many Mc Grath Californian relatives. Rest in peace Donncha in joyful re-union with Sinead and Vera.

Deepest sympathies Donncha and family on the loss of your father, Donncha. May he Rest In Peace.

Sincere sympathy to you and your family Donncha on the death of your Dad, May he Rest in Peace,

Sincere sympathy to the O Dulaing family on the loss of your parents. I have very fond memories as a young teenager of your dear father staying in our home in Kerry on two separate weekends while interviewing local characters for Highways & Byways.
Your father was outstanding at his job, he was a natural, he made people feel at ease and brought out the best in everybody. It was an honour to have such a celebrity stay in our home in the 80's, a beautiful memory.
May your parents and sister Sinead rest in peace.
You are all in our prayers at this difficult time.

Deepest condolences to the immediate family and extended families of Donncha and Vera.
I have fond memories as a child , in my home village of Killavullen, close to Doneraile where Donncha was born, of listening to him on the radio, and watchng him on television.

He was such a gentleman and that came across in whatever programme he was involved in, he was unique.

Condolences also to Sinéad, his grand daughter, from my daughter Gráinne, who attends Colaiste Muire in Ennis, with her.

Ar dheis Dé a raibh a anam dílis.

Deepest sympathy to the Ó Dúlaing family on the loss of your parents. Your Dad, Donncha, brought the same enthusiasm to studio every day with the material he had gathered resulting in a fantastic archive that is to be appreciated by all. May your parents rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, Donal. Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to Donncha and family on the passing of your father. He brightened up many a darken winters night in the windswept homes of the western seaboard.

Sincere sympathies to Feargal and the O'Dulaing family.

So sad to hear of Donncha’s passing. Sincere sympathy to all the O’Dulaing family and to his sister. He was the earthy voice of the hidden Ireland. He came to Killeagh, Co. Cork to record the show ‘Classic 81’ for his unforgettable ‘Highways and Byways’. His ‘Failte Isteach’ on Saturday nights reached the nation and its diaspora. and he was generous to the last in promoting local events. The door is closed and the lights are out for a master broadcaster. His like will not be seen again.
May Donncha, Vera and Sinead enjoy the celestial ‘Parlour of Dreams’. Rest In Peace.

Deepest sympathy to Dónal, Diarmaid and all of the O'Dulaing family on the very sad passing of Donncha. May he Rest in Peace.

Deepest sympathies to the Ó Dúlaing family. It is with great sadness that the villagers of Newcastle, have learned of the passing of our dear friend Dunncha. Since the 1970’s he has been a great source of encouragement and support for the villagers and was instrumental in helping us build the thriving community that exists in the village today. He will always be fondly remembered in the village and for laying of the foundation stone for our Community Centre in May 1982. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

Comhbhrón croí do chlann Uí Dhúlaing ar bhás Dhonncha agus Vera. Is mor Linn bhur bhris. Our Community here in Glinsk and I first became involved with Donncha for the "Winter March" 1987.
What an honour and privilege it was for us to have Donncha, Vera and Sinead with us on that historic occasion.
The seeds of friendship sown on that occasion grew over the years since then.
Donncha was a real legend who gave a voice to so many communities around Ireland.
He truly recognised the meaning of pride of place.
He allowed us to be proud of our History, our Heritage and our Culture.
The Glinsk Community is saddened to hear of the passing of Vera & Donncha.
Slan abhaile - Leaba I measc na naoimh go raibh agaibh.

Comhbhrón libh, muintir Uí Dhúlaing ar ocáid báis Donncha agus Vera. Táid le chéile anois ins na Flaithis.
Duine de mhór chraoltóirí a linne ab ea Donncha. Gael go smior agus Corcaíoch mórálach a bhí ann. Fear cáirdiúil agus cóluadar den scoth gur bhreá liom bualadh leis i gcónaí. Is fíor nách mbíonn a leithéid in ár measc ró mhinic

Ar Dheis Dé go raibh sé féin agus a chéile dílis Vera agus go dtugaidh Dia na Glóire siochán agus solás dóibh siúd ata croí bhriste ina diaidh

Slán sábháilte ar Neamh anois in éineacht le do mhnaoi agus d’iníon, a Dhonncha.

Dear Donncha your final resting place is far from the Hi ways and By ways that you made your own many years ago.
Many kind paragraphs will be written about you now and rightly so. You were a true legend the likes of never to be repeated. Most of all you were a thorough gentleman who worked hard for the less well off in society.
I experienced your sincerity and special personality when we walked the roads together on various walks, the most gruelling being the 32 county walks for IWA. No one could understand your motivation to walk at least 20 miles in every county in Ireland, concecutively and meeting people, giving speeches and especially loosening up the pockets of well wishers. That time we used the evocative music of Sharon Shannon( probably illegally) which has never left my head since . Likewise in the Holy Land you represented Irish people with pride and decency.thankfully there are famous archives which no doubt we will now hear again. May you rest in peace Dear friend. A great Irishman, a reputable historian, a political force and a true friend of ordinary decent folk.

Sincere Condolence to the O Dulaing family on the sad loss of their dad Donncha who is now United with his wife Vera and daughter Sinead in the parlour in Heaven listening to Failte Isteach,

Sincere condolences to you Donncha and to the extended Ó Dúlaing family on the sad passing of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Leaba i measc na Naomh go raibh aige.

My deepest sympathies to the O Dulaing family on Donnchas and Veras death, many a visit he paid to my house in Galway. Indeed on his very first visit way back in the 1970 s all of the family visited my house in Kiltormer and he recorded a special Highways and Byways from the parish. Lord Rest Sinead , was alive then. Over the years we met many times . He also recorded a Tv programme ,The Station Mass , from Kiltormer.May they both Rest In Peace united with Sinead.
Fr.Sean Slattery , retired.

Sincere condolences to his family.
May he Rest in Eternal Peace 🙏🙏🙏

Sincere sympathy to the family on the death of your Dad and Mam so sorry for you all. Just tuned into mass and Loved those the music and song. How much your Dad Loved to sing The Bank's of my own lovely Lee. Rest in peace to you both

Sincere condolences to the O’Dúlaing family on the sad passing of your mother Vera & father. Donncha was an exceptional broadcaster . He understood country people and we all loved his programmes. As a young lad I loved high ways and Bye ways especially a day after a big Munster championship game when he played back his recording of people he met , played snippets of the match and of course the music from the Dunne brothers on the way to the pitch in Thurles or Limerick.. Then his weekly sat night programme Failte Isteach was unmissable it was like the Riordans or Glenroe on TV. Sat nights haven't been the same since since 2015.
I'm sure you as a family will be very proud of all the well deserved tributes paid here and elsewhere. May he and Vera rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Kitty and the Ó Dúlaing Family on the sad passing of Donncha. May He Rest In Peace

Condolences to the O Dulaing and Geary families on the lost of Donnacha RIP. Have nice memories of Donnacha when he came to visit my dear Mom Kitty Donovan (Duhig )RIP kilbrien Rathcormac. Rest in peace Donnacha.... Your Godchild Helen Buckley (Donovan) Aherla
