And so it was with Michael, sleep peaceful little man xx

Rest in Peace, Michael - a very special boy, who gave so much joy in his lifetime - touching the lives of more people than he could ever realise. A credit to his parents and Ann and Barry, all of whom must have been equally special to have raised such a wonderful son.

Ann and Barry- I was so sorry to hear Michael had passed away-Thank you for giving the country the chance to get to meet him on “Room to Improve”. It was so heart warming to see how much you loved and cared for him. You must be devastated. The greater the love- the greater the grief. Both will stay with you. But please believe Michael is still near even though you can’t see him- look for the signs. He will look after you both now. God bless

An unforgettable young man! And inspirational foster parents! So sad for all his family. RIP Michael.

What a wonderful human being Michael was! And what an inspiration to us all! After seeing him on TV I will always remember his lovely character and that smile. I was so sad to hear of his untimely death- so sad in fact that I shed a tear.....
Sincere sympathy to his parents and foster parents.
Rest in peace, Michael.

Condolences to all the family. Michael to watch you was a breath of fresh air. Your an inspiration to all rest in peace.

So very sad for your loss Ann and Barry you must be devastated such a wonderful little man, you both gave him such a wonderful life so unselfish. He knew he was loved more than life itself.

Rest in Peace Michael, will miss your wonderful smile and the Garda Band will never sound quite the same again.

A persons’ life is not measured by the years they lived, rather how they lived within those years.

In that one hour of room to improve, Michael really captured the heart of Ireland through his bright, infectious and bubbly character. Sincere condolences to his parents, family and friends.
Rest In Peace Michael.

Deepest sympathty to Ann, Barry, Michael's parents and family on the tragic loss of such a sweet young man. He was such a joy to behold on the TV and thanks Ann and Barry for giving us all the opportunity to get to know Michael. Take comfort in the fact that he was a very happy content young scamp who loved his life and everyone in it. I hope such thoughts will bring you some comfort in the days ahead.

Didn't have the pleasure of knowing the little fella !! Rest in peace young man !

Rest In Peace Michael, You were an inspiration to the world , May god protect your wonderful foster parents, they are amazing people.

Rip Michael xxx
U were an amazing kid xxx

Michael fell in love with you on room to improve that cheeky smile and you kept Dermot in line but you could tell he loved that you were a bright light. Rest in Peace you will be keeping the Angels on their toes with your sense if humour. Fly high. x

Michael came into this world and had a ray of light over him which shone and stood out. He was a masterpiece. Not knowing him personally only through TV but we are still deeply saddened by the news of his death. A light from all the lives he touched is gone and a wonderful soul has gone to Heaven. It's obvious Michael's friendships and great memories he made and all the fun everyone had, that came in contact with him imprinted in the hearts of the nation and will never be diminished by time. Deepest sympathy to Ann & Barry who no doubt was exemplary foster parents to Michael and his parents and siblings who shared their son. What a wonderful blessing for both families as Michael was a treasure from above who brought joy and laughter, warmth and special charm, thoughtfulness and love that came from deep inside. Foster Parents are like buttons they hold everything together and take the place of parents for periods of time for which we are so grateful if only there were all like Ann & Barry. Deepest sympathy to all.

Heartbroken for you all at the loss of your so much loved Michael. Thinking of you.

So sorry for your loss Ann and Barry..and condolences to all of Michael’s family. Rest In Peace Michael..there’s another angel in heaven with you there x

A witty, intelligent and gentle soul taken too early from this life. Sleep peacefully. Prayers and thoughts with you all.

Heartbroken for both Ann & Barry, RIP Michael

Such a shining light of a boy. May he brighten up the skies.

Sincere condolences on the passing of wonderful and inspiring Michael. X

I had the very great pleasure of meeting Michael at my show in Dublin this past December and I am so sad to hear of his passing. He was a bright light in this world... Peace be with the family & friends who loved him. I am thinking of you.
