Emmet Bergin

Sincere condolences to the Bergin family, on Emmet’s passing. I remember his beautifully placed work, on our televisions. Authentic, searching, very much alive portrayals and compositions, on the screen. Many qualities that would inspire and inform every fine performance. Thanks. RIP.

Emmet was a sweet, smart, funny and generous artist. Kind and empathetic, he was a gentleman who always kept an eye out for others. Before joining RTÉ as a producer, I worked as an actor. On my first day on Glenroe (I had a small recurring role as a solicitor), he welcomed me like an old friend. A decade later I had the privilege and pleasure of working with him (he really knew his way around the microphone) on RTÉ Drama On One.  A golden voice and a platinum talent.

Deepest sympathy on the sad loss of Emmet. May he rest in peace

Always enjoyed watching Where in the World & Glenroe with my family, and then it was off to bed for school the next day, such happy Sunday night memories. Dick Moran was a great & memorable character and added so much to the entertainment of the show. So sorry to hear of Emmet's passing, thinking of his family and friends at this sad time. May he rest in peace.

Sorry, I only heard of Emmet's death at the weekend.. I did a ten-year stint with him on 'Glenroe' and I enjoyed working with him immensely. His work was always thoughtful, professional, searching and true, and rehearsing with him was always rewarding. He was such pleasant company too, gracious and funny. And one always knew he had another rich life, with his family. Sincere sympathy to you all.

Our sincere condolences to all the Bergin family on the very sad passing of Emmet. May he rest in peace.

I’m very sad to hear of Emmet’s death. I only knew him through the characters he played, and always thought he was fantastic - Hollywood leading man material. He brought authenticity and humanity to all his work. He was a great talent and cool before cool was a thing.
Sympathies to his family, may he rest in peace.

Loved all your acting. You had the X Factor and you could have been a James Bond. RIP Se La Vie

Siobhan Sincere sympathy to you and all the Bergin family on Emmet's passing. We were school friends in the Presentation Convent many years ago. My Emmet Rest in Peace

Two fine actors Emmet and his brother Pat (Patrick)... Condolences to the Bergin families, fellow actors, Friends on the passing of Emmet.

Tara, Sarah and Gavan, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I have great memories of being in your house in Springhill as a child.

My sincere condolences to the Bergin family on the sad passing of Emmet. He truly was a fine actor. The music to Glenroe on a Sunday night meant the weekend indeed was truly over (& no homework done!!!) but it was always a pleasure to catch up on the show and to watch the very sophisticated & handsome Dick Moran. Thank you Emmet for the great memories on Glenroe. It would be great if RTE would rerun the show again on a Sunday night, I think it would be very much appreciated especially for the older generation. Rest in peace dear Emmet.

Sincere sympathy to Emmet's wife Sarah & all the Bergin family on the sad passing of your beloved Emmet. Happy memories of Sunday evenings watching Dinny, Miley, Biddy, Dick (Emmet) & Mary (all in Glenroe). A simpler life then perhaps! Go raibh maith agat. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Sad to hear of his passing. He was only gorgeous back in the day. One of the best looking men in Ireland 35-40 years ago. We all wanted to be Mary in Glenroe! Rest in peace, Emmet.

As Glenroe’s incredibly charismatic and handsome Dick Moran, Emmet had us female teenagers - and ladies all over Ireland - glued to the TV on Sunday nights. He was such a great actor with an amazing presence who lit up the TV screen when he entered a room. Sympathies to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Condolence to Emmet's family. Thanks Emmet for the entertainment and good memories on our Sunday evenings in 1980s Ireland. May you Rest in Peace.

It was always a pleasure to bump into Emmet after we worked together in “The Hostage” at the Abbey over 40 years ago.A fine actor,a nice fella and a superb raconteur. My sympathies to his family. RIP

I knew the Bergins from Drimnagh many moons ago. Kept in touch with Emmet and Patrick. Lovely man and a gentleman. He will be sorely missed, we won't see his like again. Rest in peace Emmet.

Our sincere condolences to Emmet's family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Condolences to the Bergin family at this difficult time. Emmet in the guise of Dick Moran was such a large part of my happy childhood memories of family time spent watching Glenroe on Sundays. May he Rest in Peace.

Emmet was a wonderful person and friend. We lost touch when I left Glenroe but I am so glad that I got his number and was able to call him (albeit briefly) in 2022. It was lovely to touch base again.
Sorry we never got to have that pint Emmet.
Rest in peace pal.

Condolences to Sarah, Gavan, Tara and Family. I worked and played with Emmet in Butlins Mosney 1963, We also fished twice weekly in the local River Nanny. His Mum ( Mrs.Bergin) managed the Staff Canteen and lived on the Mosney Road. What wonderful Times.What a Wonderful Man. An absolutely brilliant and much underestimated Actor.

May he rest in peace.RIP

Glenroe was a great show back in the day.
I'd be there trying to finish my sums homework but I was too busy seeing what shenigans Dick Moran was carrying up to with Terry and I was only a young pup.
May Miley, Dick and Denny have a good catch up now and all the other great actors🙏
They were the highlight of Sunday evening.

My heartfelt condolences to you all on the passing of your beloved Emmet. May his kind and gentle soul rest in peace. We were always very proud of him here in Carlow especially all who knew him from St Killian's Crescent.
