Remembered with love ☺ and thanks for my childhood and adult memories. You were Ireland's Gold Medal Olympic Champion working on behalf of the Irish People. You made us face the dark corners in our country and opened dialogue about subjects certain people would have preferred were kept in the dark. You were one in a million Mr. Gay Byrne. You will be missed. Very big shoes to fill. Thank you for your courage and for not allowing anyone to silence you when it came to asking the difficult questions. We loved you Uncle Gaybo. Safe journey.
— A grateful fan.
Gay will always be apart of our lives. He has left a huge legacy in all he championed. Ireland is a better place because of him. Rest In Peace Gay. We send our very best wishes to those who will miss you more than we know ⭐️

Go raibh Gay ina luí I leaba na Naomh go deo . Laoch ar leith ab ea é . Thug sé fuascilt dúinn , mná go mór mhór , ón Eaglais agus Polatoiri a bhī ag déanamh cos ar Bholg le diúltachas orainn . Ba solas sa dorchadas é agus táim buioch dó I gconaí ,Go dté sé Slán ar Bhothairín na Fīrinne . Déanaim combhrón do Kathleen agus an chlann go léir . Leanfaidh a dhúchas Leo amach sa todhchaí . Dfhág sé a rian orainn go léir . Meas agus brón .

Hi there, myself, the Foran family & the Banim family would like to offer our sincerest condolences to all of Gay's family at this sad & difficult time. He was a wonderful presenter for "The Late Late Show" & "The Toy Show." He knew my late grandfather Al Banim very well as my grandfather used to warm up Gay's audience with his jokes before the show began. :-) I'm very sure he is cracking jokes to Gay right now. ;-) Rest in forever Peace Gay.

Deepest sympathy to Kathleen, her family and friends. Gay was very march part of my early adulthood.

Sincere Sympathy and much admiration to Kathleen, a dignified woman, who is an example to us all. His children and grandchildren. I have missed Gay on his morning programme and television, always hoping he’d be back sometime. But God decided it was not to be. From when we bought our home in 1970 and I had to give up my job, Gay was my constant companion, at what was a lonely time for me. He made me laugh and cry. He was a brilliant broadcaster who made you feel he was having a conversation with you only. It felt like he was in the room with you. Wouldn’t miss a morning with the radio or a Late Late Show. Met him walking in Howth a couple of times and said hello. Would not have interrupted his walk or thoughts at that time but sorry Now I missed the opportunity to chat with such a remarkable, good, caring human. Rest in peace Gabriel Byrne be happy with the Angels.
— Phil Owens
