Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh

My deepest condolences to Helena and all the family, from the O’Connors nee Galvin, Athlone & Bray. Rory & I have been huge fans of Micheal’s over the years as we cheered on Galway. Agnes described Micheal & Helena as the loveliest of people.

My deepest sympathies to Micheál’s dear family. The voice of the nation who brought so much life to any game of hurling. Ireland has lost a legend. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Sincere sympathy to the family of Micheal on his sad passing.His iconic voice will be greatly missed on the national airwaves. His unique commentary was comparable with Peter O Sullivan. Bill McLaren and John Motson..May the soil of Dingle rest easy on his gentle soul

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Muintir Uí Mhuircheartaigh ar bhás Mhichíl. Micheál was the voice of the nation, a legend who brought so much happiness into our homes. We remember with great fondness a visit he paid to our small 3-teacher school in Co. Offaly in 1989. He agreed to do a commentary on a hurling match between the pupils of the school, a treasured memory held dear by all those involved. Bhí sé íseal uasal, bringing as much joy to the people of Clonlisk NS that day as he did to the crowds in Croke Park.
Solas na bhFlaitheas ar a anam dílis.

Sincere sympathy to all Micheál's family, may his soul rest in peace

Sincere Condolence to all the O'Muircheartaigh family on the sad passing of Micheal, a true gentleman his kind words before games mean't so much to the players. i'd imagine to this day he was the only person from the media to gain access to the dressing rooms before big game's, that was the respect he was held in. He will be sadly missed but the memories will life on forever. Rip Micheal.

My sincere sympathy to Helena and family and to the extended family, Micheal RIP was a great Kerryman with a unique voice who created so much excitement in all the games he commented on, may he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Micheál's wife, children and grandchildren on the loss of the Pride of the Nation. He was widely admired and his attitude to life was exceptional. He endeared himself to young and old and was everybody's friend. His use of the Irish language, jumbling it with English was extraordinary, ensuring even the not so fluent speakers would understand. Micheál was a beautiful Irish man - may he rest in God's green garden.

Condolences to all the family. He was a brilliant man. If the green and gold of Kerry doesn't win this year, I hope it's be the green and gold of Donegal. He was a brilliant speaker and you could listen to him for hours. I just watched a video of him making a sandwich, and it was amazing how he even could talk about a sandwich and it be very intriguing, I could listen to him for a long time. Rest in peace Michael

Extending sincere sympathy to Helena and all the Ó Muircheartaigh family at this sad and difficult time.....

Thanks for all the wonderful memories Micheál.....
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis...

Deepest sympathy to the O'Muircheartaigh Family on the sad passing of Micheál, what a man and what a contribution to the GAA. I enjoyed many occasions in his company, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Sincere sympathies to Doireann and all the Ó Muircheartaigh family on the loss of a true gent of both the country and the GAA. May he rest peacefully and maybe continue his commentary with the other great Gaels who have gone before him.

Deepest condolences to Eamonn and all the family on Micheáls very sad passing. Rest in Peace

A friend of mine’s party piece used to be a piece of GAA commentary imitating Micheál O’Muircheartaigh and Micheál O’Hehir. It began with “Ar m-éirí dhom ar maidin grian an tsamhraidh ag taitneamh. Sin mar a dúirt a file fadó agus sin mar atá I bPáirc an Chrócaigh inniu.” Tá súil agam go mbeidh an ghrian ag taitneamh ar anam Micheál go deo.

Sincere sympathy to all Micheál's family. Like so many more I was always enthralled by his commentaries. He was one of a generation. Ar dheis Dé go raimh sé.

Sincere Condolences to the O’Muircheartaigh family on the death of Michea’l May he rest in peace

Our sincere sympathies to the oMuircheartaigh family on the loss of a great man and a true Kerry gael May his gentle soul R I P .

Deepest sympathies to Micheál's family and friends on his passing. He was a visitor to the Centre on occasion and where everyone was delighted to be in his company. Thank you for sharing him with so many. May Micheál rest in Eternal Peace.

A beautiful funeral mass,

Micheal you were The King of Commentary & in every way a perfect gentleman.

God bless all the family

Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mícheál at this time. He was a gentleman and a legendary name to the GAA. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Our sincere condolences to Micheál’s family at this sad time. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the O'Muircheartaigh family on the loss of Micheál. Thank you for sharing him with us. He was a wonderful man and I have such fond memories of him and the pictures he painted of the matches he commentated on. Even while watching the matches in Croke Park I loved to listen to him with my headphones on. Only Micheál could make a good story of making a ham sandwich. May he rest in peace

My sincere sympathies to all Micheál's family on the passing of a wonderful man. I have brilliant memories of growing up in the 1980s listening to Micheál's commentary on the radio with my late father. He was my hero back then and remained so upto the present day. He was always very fair in his commentary and never criticised any player. One of my favourite lines was his description of Leitrim's famous win in the Connacht final in 1994 and I'm sure he will be (in his own words) "leaning out over the veranda of Heaven " keeping an eye on the upcoming all Ireland semi finals and finals. Hopefully the wonderful memories you all have of Micheál will be a source of comfort at this time. May he rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to all the ó Muircheartaigh family on your sad loss, Micheáil was a gentleman and many the conversation we had, A gaa treasure , may he rest in peace

RIP Micheál. Thank you for the comfort and enthusiasm your voice gave Ireland. I remember fondly the incredible facts you had on every player in the big games. You had an incredible ability to paint such a clear picture of a match and create a depth to the persona of the players, that allowed the listeners ear to ‘see’’. Your passion effused through the media channels. We are grateful and thankful to you. Wishing your family peace and good memories of you. RIP

Suaimhneas síoraí do Mhícheál agus go dtuga Dia sólás do Helena agus don chlann uile.

Condolence to all the family .
WE have lost an Irish icon of sport &Culture .
RIP .

It is sadness to hear the death of voice legend Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh. Growing up listening to your iconic voice brought excitement of GAA sports over the radio wherever it was been listened to. Who needed to go to the game when we had you to bring it to us whenever we were. RIP Micheál 🎧

my condolonce to michael family and friends from the sport friends that he worked with may he rest in peace r.i.p

Such deep condolences to his family and a fond farewell to a man the nation felt they knew, and he knew them. He enthralled 4 generations of my own family and kept our thought of home burning brightly while abroad. A dhéis Dé go raibh a anam dhilis
Myself and my husband weren’t long going out, home on holidays looking for a move back to these shores, we were at a match in Páirc úi Chaoimh and we met himself after the game, he asked us where we were from and commiserated with my now husband saying, seek me out if you get her to move to the marble county tis a rare thing to see a rebel in marble! He wasn’t wrong, more than a quarter century later he’s still down south and we almost have his accent trained, every time we talk of our move home we think of that day and himself

Sincere condolences to Micheal’s family, found memories of his many visits to Loch Gorman, particularly during Felie in 98 & 99 , it was privilege to be in his company and enjoy his knowledge and kindness to all he met be it young or old he had a wonderful presence that will be sorely missed, may his gentle soul rest in peace.

It always was and always will be your voice i hear when i think Gaa . The final whistle has gone for you , now its your time to rest . Thank you Micheal . R.I.P .

Deepest sympathy to Helena & Family on the death of Micheal. He attended our Pioneer social in 1997 and also visited schools in the locality on the same day. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Rest in peace Micheal. You were a wonderful commentator. Condolences to all the family.

I had the fasinating honour of bumping into Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh in the RDS during the Special Olympics World Games of June 2003, speaking to him and his lovely daughter who always accompanied him on his busy schedules. Next on the 28th June, Derry were playing Dublin in Clones of Round 2 of the football Qualifiers, and he found the time in the middle of his usual commentary to mention my name and how he met me in the RDS earlier that week as the Clones game was in full flow. My condolences to Mícheál’s immediate and extended family. Rest in Peace🕯️
