Kenneth Fogarty, S.C.

Ken was the only person to have a personal ring tone on my phone, which he set up himself, I really miss you Ken, I think I’ll leave the ring tone in place!

For a few years prior to Covid Ken and I would sometimes find ourselves the first arrivals in the barristers' tea rooms in the morning. We gradually drifted into a "semi-regular" habit of having early bird coffees together. Whatever the weather, however frazzled one arrived or whatever daunting task lay ahead there was no better pick me up than a ten minute coffee with Ken. Ken had countless talents but for me the essence of Ken was that Ken liked people and people liked Ken. For the many times when Ken's warmth, irrepressible grin and deft telling of a good yarn turned my frown into a smile I am truly grateful.My sincere sympathy to Ken's family. The world is much the poorer for the passing of the big hearted, vibrant tour de force that was Ken but he has left a treasure trove of positive impressions in his wake. May Ken rest in peace and may memories of Ken be of comfort to his family.

Good old Ken.
Thought I'd never forgive him for going at full speed from the Howth Summit to Sutton Cross with me on the cross bar of his bike and him lifting his hands in the air and laughing to my panic. But I did, and valued his great friendship over our teenage years. So many memories, of De La Salle and the Clontarf Grove disco. So many laughs we had.
Even my family (who had grips about everyone!) just loved Ken and even decades after we lost touch they still asked me " How is Ken?".
He made a deep impression on everyone he came into contact.
I am so sorry he is gone , but for me he will always be the lively , messing, lovable Ken that I knew of old - to my dying day. I think of him often.

I’m in shock at the passing of Ken,a very talented man and a great colleague in RTE. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Ken’s sudden passing. My deepest sympathies to his family. He was a true gentleman, funny, kind and always made time for a chat or to help. I have many fond memories of looking after him and his colleagues in Austies over the years. RIP Ken.

Deepest sympathy to Ken's family on the sad news of his passing. Fond memories of Ken from my time in Austies Bar and Restaurant, Rosses Point Co. Sligo. May Ken Rest in Peace.

Condolences to the Fogarty family on Ken's passing. He was a lovely person, as was his dad Paddy, whom I played golf with in Malahide G C many years ago.

I was shocked to hear of the passing of Ken just before Christmas. My deepest sympathy to all the family. Ken was a marvellous colleague and a great character. We soldiered together through many cases over the years and he was a joy to work with and to have known. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your terrible loss. Ken will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

Condolences to Kens family. I knew Ken in the old 9 hole course in Malahide. His dad Paddy was a gent as well. He was good fun and obviously had a super career. Proof nice guys do get on

Ken had a strong faith and is resting peacefully. He was a wonderful colleague and a barrister who always gave of his best. He is sadly missed at the Bar. May God have mercy on his soul. Deepest condolences to all his family.

I was so sorry to learn of Ken’s passing. He was a kind, smart and diligent lawyer and the man you needed in your corner when you had a real fight on your hands. He had an uncanny ability to find a connection with every client he represented. May he rest in peace.

Unfortunately I was away and missed Ken’s funeral. We were in practice in the Law Library for many years together. Ken was a good colleague, with plenty of mischief in him. Sincere condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to the extended Fogarty family on your sad loss. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Sincere condolences on the loss of Ken. I was a pal in RTE in the 1980s and I never laughed so much in anyone’s company. He was a force of nature. A witty, brilliant man. Gone too soon.

Memories of Ken always go back to Claremorris and a late hotel night during the papal visit. Two professors from a certain very central Dublin College challenged us to a debate. They wouldn’t pick a topic as they felt that they had an edge. Ken picked the “plight of the lemmings”. Needless to say he walked away with the prize of the bottle. A sign of where he might end up.
Sleep well on the next stage of your journey Ken. Condolences to all his family. RIP Ken

Dear Keith and Lisa.
My deepest condolences to you and all the family on the loss of your Dad, Ken. I was very saddened to hear of his passing and am thinking of you all. May Ken rest in everlasting peace.

So sorry to hear about Ken’s
Passing. He was a true gent and always so persuasive in court. He will be a hugh loss to the northern circuit. He was such good company to be in. His loss will be massive to his family and friends.

I am so saddened and shocked at Ken’s passing. The words echoed here show how widely revered Ken was by all who knew him. Ken had this amazing infectious ability to light up any room with his smile and a twinkle in his eye. You always loved to hear from him and spend time with him. He had time for everyone and showed everyone kindness, respect and caring. To say he will be missed is a gross understanding. Words fail us all at times like these. Ken was the very best of all of us. His loss will be immense and unfathomable. To his family and extensive circle of friends, I extend my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences.
