My sincere condolences to Gillian, Méabh, Oscar, and Una, and to Gabriel's extended family and friends on the sad news of his passing. During my time studying history in UCC, I had the good fortune to have witnessed Gabriel's passion for teaching and his genuine interest in people. His letter after my first year studying history, encouraging me to continue my studies is a memory that has always stood to me, and I'm glad I listened to his advice.

Gabriel was always very approachable and friendly, but had a keen competitive side too which came out during a staff versus students football match during my Masters year in 2007! He later also really helped me when I was studying overseas at one point during my PhD, for which I will always be grateful.

As remembered by a number of my friends who also studied history and met him over the years, he was "a gent and a scholar". RIP Gabriel.

Sincere sympathy to the Doherty family on Gabriel's untimely passing from this life.A great historian,leading on Modern Irish History,Gabriel gave so much of his time to so many people and we remember the selfless assistance which he rendered to many organizations during the 1915 O'Donovan Rossa Commemorations.

Gill, Meabh, Oscar and Una. Our hearts are broken for you all, Gabriel was such a kind and caring person. He will be remembered so fondly, and missed a great deal by all of us. May he rest in peace.

Gabriel was a scholar and a gentleman. An erudite and valued colleague, and above all a friend. My sympathy to all the family.

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Gabriel.
He was both a great student and teacher of History. He visited Colaiste Choilm to talk to both prospective students of Senior History and Senior students themselves. His deep knowledge of the detail, his empathy for the characters and his capacity to tell 'the story' always ensured his audience were fully engaged.
Above all he was a gentleman in every respect and wore his erudition lightly.
His contribution to History, and to education, will ripple into the decades ahead.
Sincere condolences to his lovely family.
Cathal Leahy.
History Teacher.

I had the privilege of both being a student of Gabriel's, and in recent years a colleague at UCC and in both roles he was a gentleman. He also dutifully stood in goals for my then five-year-old daughter, who wanted to try camogie when her curiosity brought us down to an open day at Douglas GAA.

Sympathies to all of Gabriel's family and friends. I have nothing but fond memories of him from my undergraduate days, back when he was both a lecturer and my tutor.
