First met Liam when he bought our house in Clavinstown. Liam was a brilliant raconteur and his insights into GAA were always spot on. Deepest sympathy to his children. May he rest in peace RIP

When Patricia went, Liam was not lingering… way of of life and death. A gentleman scholar who lightened the lives of many.

Susie & Eoin ,
So sorry to hear about your dads passing , he was a gentleman & we enjoyed many of chats with him . Condolences to you both. May he Rest in Peace x

Our sincere condolences to Susie and Eoin at this very sad time. Your Dad was a really nice guy and will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace.

My sympathies to Eoin and Susan on the sudden loss of your Dad, Liam.
A lovely man from the Deise.

Sincere condolences on your Dad's passing. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Liam’s untimely death, what a great loss. I was in Mount Sion school in the 1960’s and he showed great promise even then; I recall his forceful campaign to have the motto of Waterford changed to “Parva Roma” (Cardinal Rinuccini) instead of “Urbs Intacta”, presenting strongly to the city council at the time. A great socialist all his life with a lot more to give, his voice will be sadly missed. Condolences to the extended family.

My deepest sympathy to Eoin, Susan and May on the sudden passing of Liam. I got to know Liam from Twitter and enjoyed his posts concerning so many matters from local to international. He was an extremely knowledgeable and talented person with a great wit. Like myself, he was very proud of his Waterford roots and, I did enjoy our few conversations over Twitter concerning the great rivalry between his Mount Sion and De La Salle, the school and club of my late mother's brothers as well as the local characters. May he RIP.

Sincere sympathy to the Cahill family on the death of Liam.
It was always a pleasure to meet him in Leinster House and his warm and engaging manner endeared him to all.
May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to the Cahill family on the sad and untimely passing of Liam. I had many dealings with him during his time in RTE News. He was an absolute gentleman - a 'fear uasal' in every sense of the term. He was also an outstanding journalist who always reported on industrial relations matters fairly and impartially, recognising that every dispute had to be settled eventually by both parties sitting down at the table to talk. Solas síoraí na bhFlaitheas dá anam uasal dílis. Mar adúirt fear an Oileáin fadó, 'ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann'.

Rest in peace Liam Our deepest sympathy to Susan and Eoin Thinking of you at this sad time Curtis Family Riverstown

Susie and Eoin, so sorry to hear of the untimely death of your wonderful Dad. One of life’s true gentlemen. I hope that with time, you will get solace from all the happy memories that you can treasure. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam, uasal, dílis.

Our very sincere sympathies on Liam's death. I knew Liam when I was Chairman of Dunsany GFC and he was a proud father of his son Eoin who was a talented underage footballer with the club. Liam was a very nice man, well spoken and well educated in so many areas of life and with a prolific and outstanding career to go with it. He was a frequent attender of games when Eoin was playing. He was a proud Waterford man and very proud of his county's ahievements. His late wife Patricia was a work colleague of my sister Mary in the Department of Agriculture and indeed she was a daughter of the late Martin Cannon who I knew well in tbe Forest and Wildlife Service in the mid 1970s. May the Lord have mercy on Liam's soul and may he be granted a deserved place in the heavenly kingdom. Our sincere sympathies to son Eoin, daughter Susan, his sister May and all his relatives and a wide circle of friends. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dhilis.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le muintir Liam agus suaimhneas síoraí go raibh aige. Fear lách, léannta, aigeanta agus lán de sport.

Susan and Eoin my deepest condolences. I was heartbroken to hear of the passing of your wonderful Dad Liam. Through his books and writing I had the great pleasure of interviewing him. Over the years he became a great friend whose encouragement and support I will always remember with much gratitude. He was an absolute gentleman who will be so sadly missed. Much love to you and all the family.

Our deepest and heartfelt condolences go to my cousins Susie and Eoin who lost their dad and to my mother, Mai who lost her brother. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Liam you will forever be in our hearts. Rest In Peace.

Susie and Eoin, our deepest sympathy on the loss of your lovely Dad Liam. We met your dad along with your late lovely mam through Scoil na Rithe. Liam was always willing to stop for the chats, always allowed time no matter how busy he was. Such a loss for you both and his extended family. RIP Liam

Sorry to have missed the funeral also, as I am overseas.

Sincerest condolences to all of Liam's family.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Liam's passing is a huge loss to all who knew him. He was a man of vision and action who inspired by his presence and commitment. Go dtuga Dia sólás dá chlann is dá ghaolta is go raibh suaimhneas síorraí aige.

Our Deepest condolence to Susie and Owen and all liam,s family, we have fond memories of Liam living in Riverstown Kilmessan, a true gentleman Rest in peace Liam. X

Condolences to my cousins Susie and Eoin on the loss of your Dad. I met him when I was 3, at my grandmothers ( Doreen Cahill) funeral in 2000 in Wales, my mother Claire and I will miss seeing his posts on social media and will cherish his memory .

We swam in different parts of the same river – but both knew of each other without ever meeting And then, in a wholly different context, as chairperson of the Humanist Association I was asked to officiate at the Humanist Mid-West groups hosting of Liam’s lecture on the Limerick Soviet. Before the lecture we sat down to lunch together and talked, and talked and talked. An hour seemed to fly by in five minutes and then he presented a fascinating and flawless presentation on the Soviet. After that day we continued to keep in touch on social media. Liam, a wonderful writer and strategist, kept himself young by being both interesting and always interested and will be sorely missed. Codladh Sámh Liam.

Our sincere sympathy to Liam's family from his friends and colleagues in the Irish Labour History Society. Liam's important work on the Limerick Soviet was of national significance. His recent book and lectures on Mossie Quinlan was a labour of love. Farewell comrade.

Sincerest condolences. Liam was always a very interesting man to chat to.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílís

Susie and Eoin our deepest sympathies on the very sad loss of your wonderful father, Liam.

Deepest condolences to all the family of Liam. A fellow Mount Sion man albeit some 7 years ahead of me.
He was spoken of to us by his former teachers with great admiration. I followed his career from the seventies and I'm still in awe of what he has achieved. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.

Sincere condolences to Susan, Eoin, May and extended family on the untimely death of Liam.

I was lucky enough to get to know Liam many years ago as both a friend and valued mentor. He was always the epitome of wisdom, fairness, integrity, generosity and boundless enthusiasm. May he rest in peace.

To Eoin, Suzie, Mai & all the extended family very sorry to learn of your Dad's sudden passing. We always stopped when we met in the village to have a chat. We wiil miss that, may he r.i.p

A true gent, RIP Liam

Susie and Eoin, I am truly lost for words to convey the sense of heartache and loss felt at your dad's untimely passing. He took a chance on me as a writer when I was fresh out of college and very wet behind the ears. He gave me free rein as a writer and though there were a couple of occasions I was on thin ice with regard to 'crossing the line', he once said to me "Anyone can make a mistake, but it says a lot about the character of the man who admits it".

As years went on, he went from seeming like a work colleague/boss to a genuine, caring and patient friend. Our last conversation was on the first anniversary of my dad's death (June 10th) where we agreed to exchange copies of our respective new books. I'll have to change the delivery address :(

Our Sympathies to Susie and Eoin on Liam's sudden death.
May Liam rest in peace

Deepest condolences on your loss. Albeit I only knew Liam through our many interactions on Twitter over the years, I will hold fond memories of his kindness, wit and curiosity. May he rest in peace.

Very shocked to hear of Liam's death the other night. I knew him firstly through his outstanding work in RTE News. He was an outstanding correspondent. Later we met in political circles and enjoyed great conversation - and of course we all loved an Fear Rua and missed it when it ended.. My deepest sympathy to all of Liam's family on their terrible loss. RIP

May Liam rest in peace. Deepest sympathies to his family.

So sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Liam R.I.P Deepest sympathy to Susie & Eoin and his extended family. Liam was a gentleman and will be missed in Dunshaughlin village.

Shocked and very sad to hear of Liam's sudden passing. He was in great form and as friendly as ever at an Irish Labour History Society event last month. His contribution to the Society and to the study of Irish history has been immense, including his publications on the Limerick Soviet and on International Brigade Volunteer (and cousin) Mossie Quinlan. Liam delivered two excellent talks (on in Limerick at the 2019 AGM) and another on Zoom last year.
He also delivered a great talk to local historians in Kilcullen, County Kildare in 2020. A pleasure to deal with.
Liam will be sorely missed.
My sympathies to his family and friends. May he Rest In Peace.
Kevin Murphy, Irish Labour History Society.

Deeply saddened to learn of Liam's sudden passing. As a colleague in RTE, he was bright, creative, committed and a wonderful broadcaster. He made friends everywhere and was knowlegeable about so many subjects. Always open to new adventures. My deepest sympathy to Susan, Eoin, May and to all Liam's relations.

Deepest Sympathy to the Cahill Family and the extended family.
May Liam rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy on Liam’s sudden and untimely death. Liam and I had many a row over the years and I grew very fond of him. He was a man of great wit and humour and a really talented writer. I’ll sorely miss his Facebook friendship.
