My Sympathies to the Mansergh family on the untimely and sad passing of Martin.

I remember him from my years in Tipperary town.

He was an exceptional person.

May he rest in heavenly peace.

Sincere condolences to Martin’s family on his passing.
I had the honour to work with Martin in the Department of An Taoiseach in the 1980s. He was a remarkable man of conviction,decency , integrity and deep intelligence. His contributions to the peace process in Northern Ireland were outstanding and unforgettable.
May Martin’s gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

I attended Tipperary national school with the Mansergh family with Mrs Elliott as our teacher. I have followed Martin's amazing career with the pride of been a Tipperary man who now lives in Roches Point in Cork. My deepest condolences to all his family and friends. May Martin rest in peace.

To the family of esteemed Dr Martin Mansergh,

My deepest sympathies to you all. I was privileged to have met Dr Mansergh. He was a true champion of peace and his legacy will continue to inspire all of us in the pursuit of peace and justice.

A gentle man who clearly loved life, Ireland, and the rich history and cultural tapestry of this beautiful country. May he rest in everlasting peace,

I was so saddened to hear of Martin's passing. He was one of the smartest people I ever met. He was also incredibly generous of his time. Martin helped me on countless occasions with my academic studies. His contribution to the Peace Process and efforts to stop violent dissident republicanism will never be forgotten. Indeed, I suspect his discreet and secret efforts to engage with the republican movement saved countless lives. Sending my condolences to all his family, friends and colleagues.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

A gentleman, who could truly say
"I have done this state some service"
May he rest in peace.

To Martins wife Liz and all the family,my deepest sympathy on on the sudden death of Martin
He was an exceptional man ,very intellectual and very down to earth human being
He was a mind of information and always so willing to help when called upon
He was very good to our committee whenver we requested him,always made himself available
The orations he delivered for us over the years were just fantastic and we will treasure them for years to come
Regrettably I was out of the country and missed the funeral
May your gentle soul rest in peace

Dear Harriet and family,

My deepest condolences to you and your family on the death of your father. He leaves behind an amazing legacy of which you must be very proud. May he rest in peace,

My sincere sympathy to all the family of Dr Martin Mansergh I'd dearly like to pay tribute to Martin for his contribution to the peace process and Good Friday Agreement. Also his support for the purchase by the State of the Commons 1848 War House, and his attendance at the 1848 memorial walk every year. I had a lovely conversation with him last July, and last year I was delighted to give him a lift back from the War House to his car in the Commons. I am especially greatfull that he was with Bertie Ahern and Chris McGimpsky to celebrate with us the 25th Anniversary of good the Friday Agreement and purchase of the War House September 2023. May he rest in peace.

Lucy, thinking of you at this sad time as you say goodbye to your amazing dad. Xx

What a role he played through the years , for our country. Huge gratitude is owed to him for all the work he did quietly behind the scenes, to achieve peace for us all.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.

Sincere sympathies to Alice and all the Mansergh family on the loss of Martin I had the great privilege of meeting Martin on a couple of occasions and greatly enjoyed and appreciated those opportunities. May he rest in peace.

Our deep condolences to Liz, Danny and the family on the death of Martin. Those of us who knew Martin and worked with him know he was truly a great man with a huge personality.

Fionn & Sonja

Deepest sympathy to Liz and family on the death of Martin may he rest in peace. As a colleague and friend for all his years in Leinster house his
contribution to peace on this island can never be forgotten.

My sincere condolences to Danny and the whole Mansergh family on this terrible news. My thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.

My deepest condolences to Liz, Fiona, Lucy, Danny, Alice and Harriet on the sad passing of Martin. During the time I worked alongside him, Martin displayed what it was to be a true public servant, with no agenda other than to do right by Ireland and its people. He most certainly did that and his legacy continues to live on. Some saw him as an Academic or Politician, but I had the pleasure of seeing the kind, sincere man, who didn't look for praise or thanks. A cup of tea and a nice cake was thanks enough. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Dear Alice.
My deepest sympathies to you, your mum Liz, your siblings Fiona, Lucy, Danny and Harriet and your extended family on the sudden and untimely passing of your dear dad Martin. May he Rest in Peace.
I am grateful for the significant role your dad, Dr. Mansergh played in making this island a better place for all of us.
Thinking of you all at this sad time and I will keep you in my prayers.

My deepest condolences to Harriet, Alice and the Mansergh family on the sudden passing of your beloved dad. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.

Sincere sympathy to Liz, Fiona, Lucy, Danny, Alice and Harriet, on the sad and sudden passing of your beloved Martin. Our paths first crossed at a Transport Conference in Q. U. B. In the early eighties where I was giving a paper on the shortcomings of our road network, and I recall Martin’s challenging of points I was making. Even then his interest in North South matters was very evident. His collaboration on behalf of successive Fianna Fáil Taoisigh which led to the Belfast Agreement is a legacy well and deservedly documented in history. Our paths again crossed when we served as members of the Parliamentary Party for a decade. A gentleman, a scholar with a fine intellect, totally unassuming and understated, Martin possessed these admirable attributes which are rare enough in the political profession. It was an honour to have known you Martin. R. I. P.

Very engaging man. We had the pleasure to meet him when he visited Garinish Island here in Glengarriff during his tenure as Minister for the OPW. He was very appreciative that there was a lot of works to be done on the island and he certainly progressed them in his time in office. A very engaging man with a great appreciation of all aspects of culture. RIP

Dear Danny and the entire Mansergh family- heartfelt condolences for your loss. May your father rest in peace.

I was delighted to attend a beautiful service for Dr. Mansergh in St Mary's Church in my native Tipp. town and to express my condolences to his wife Liz and extended family.

Deepest condolences to Liz and all the family at this sad time. Martin was an extraordinary man and did so much for peace on our island. I always enjoyed our conversations about history, politics, Northern Ireland and many other topics. All of us in Fianna Fáil will miss his insightful contributions at meetings along with his sharp wit and humour.

Sincere condolences Alice, Harriet and all the Mansergh family on the loss of Martin

To Liz, Fiona, Lucy, Danny, Alice and Harriet and the extended Mansergh family, sincerest condolences on Martin's passing and may he rest in peace.

Martin was an outstanding person, with a superb intellect and amiable personality. He was a valued and much loved member of the Royal Irish Academy, playing an important role in our North South Committee and through his attendance at many Academy meetings and events. I was so honoured to nominate him in 2017 for an Honorary Doctorate in the National University of Ireland and fondly remember that day. We met only recently (September) in Belfast as we held an Academy Council meeting there and he was in great form as ever.

Martin will be sorely missed, but what a legacy he has left behind.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Dear Fiona,
Deepest sympathies on the loss of your Dad. I am thinking of you and your family at this time.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

My deepest sympathies to Liz and Family. Martin was always so kind, we'll miss seeing him walking around Killiney Hill. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam uasal.

Sincere sympathies to Dr. Mansergh’s wife and family on his sudden death. I did not know him except through
listening to the many interviews he gave over the years. Clearly a true statesman who contributed so much to peace on our island.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Our sincere condolences to Martin's family, friends and colleagues. We were privileged to know Martin as a user of our collections who became a great friend of UCD Archives. We last saw him at the final event of the Archiving Conflict and Resolution Workshop at Hillsborough Castle in June. He was engaged and informative as always, and full of great stories at the reception after the event. We will miss him.

To Fiona and family. My sincere condolences on your loss. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anam
