A gentleman with huge drama knowledge .I enjoyed working with him in drama and met him at cricket matches too.
Sad he is gone.

I was very saddened to learn of Michael’s death. I had known him for very many years as a colleague in IIRS, Eolas, Forbairt and Enterprise Ireland. Since retirement I continued to meet him regularly with other colleagues for Lunch in Tolka House. Michael was a source of deep and wide knowledge that he shared with us in the discussion we had on many topics. We will miss him.

Dear Mary, deepest condolences on the death of Michael. May he Rest in Peace

Mary, Ciarán and Cliodhna, please allow me to offer you my most sincere and heartfelt condolences for the loss of your husband and father. I was saddened by the news and, looking back on the almost sixty years since I first met Michael, I will always remember him as the kindest and most gentle person I have had the privilege to call my friend.

Mary and family, sincere condolences on your loss.

Cricket in Leinster owes a huge debt of gratitude to the voluntary work Michael carried out tirelessly for the benefit of "junior" cricket over many long years. He laid the foundations for what the Open Competitions Committee (OCC) can now build upon. Anyone who plays cricket in Leinster is in debt to his work. My sincere sympathies go to Mary Ciaran & Cliodhna at this most difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to the Sharp family on the passing of Michael. We worked together in IIRS & had great fun doing reviews & pantos. He led the way with his humour & sense of the ridiculous. May he rest in peace.

Michael was a very accomplished actor. I will always remember his wonderful voice. His contribution to the Near Drama Company on Near FM was immense and very much appreciated. Despite his final bow, his memory always be cherished by those who were lucky to have worked with him.

Mary and family,
We want to express our sympathy on the death of Michael. We remember his wry comments on operations, as Belfield was being built and also, the many games of cards at lunchtime
