Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh

My sincere condolence to you Helena and to the family on the death of Michael RIP. Thinking of you during these times
Sincerely
Kate Walshe Mater

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

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🕯️

Deepest sympathy to all the family. I didnt know Micheal or his family personally but what a legend of a man. I have family in America who listened to him on the radio on all the big match days and they swear it was like been at the match listening to Micheal's commentary.

Rest in peace Micheal.

So sorry for your loss. Micheál was a true gentleman, also an iconic broadcaster and writer whose impact on Irish culture and society will never be forgotten. So many wonderful memories of his legendary commentaries on matches. Suaimhneas síoraí Micheál.

Deepest condolences to all Micheál's family on your dear loss. A legend and a gentleman whose voice will forever be fondly remmebered. We were lucky enough to spend time with him in Kuala Lumpar and what a presence he had there. Rest in Peace Micheál.

Sorry to hear the passing of your Dad Neasa.A legend he was, his stories will always be with us.Thinking of your mum & family may he rip

Sincere sympathy to all

Go raibh radharc ar ghnúis Dé mar lúcháir síoraí ag Micheál de thoradh a sheirbhíse saoil.
Go dtuga Dia suaimhneas síoraí dó agus sólás do lucht a chaointe.

Micheál was magical. I’ll never forget listening to him being interviewed the morning of his last all-Ireland as a commentator in 2010. It was wonderful and personally melancholy at the same time as his unique voice, wit and charisma was leaving our Sunday summers. Now he has left us forever, but shall never be forgotten.

Is mór an chailliúint daoibhse agus don tír. Gaeilgeoir, iriseoir, scéalaí. Fear lách cineálta. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le muintir uí Mhuircheartaigh, a gcliamhain agus a ngaolta go léir. Fear tuisceanach, eolach, cáirdiúl, geanúil, gaelach ar lár. Suaimhneas síoraí in iothlann Dé dá anam.

Dear Helena, Éamonn, Niamh, Aonghus, Cormac, Neasa, Nuala, Eadaoin, Doireann and all Micheal’s beloved grandchildren.

Deepest sympathies to you all on the passing of your wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He was so very proud of you all and it was clear how much he loved and cherished his family throughout his life. His passing is an end of an era.

Micheal was an iconic Irish Legend that will be forever remembered for his amazing legacy to Irish culture. Ni bheidh a leithead ann aris.

I pray that God will send His Angels to comfort you all in the coming times ahead. May you all still continue to feel Micheal’s love from heaven, I believe those we love never truly leave us and bonds of love are eternal. Only gone to God and God is very near.

Suaimhneas sioraí dá anam uasail grámhar. Codladh i measc na naoimh go raibh aige anois.

Comhbhrón ó chroí leat a Niamh, agus le Helena, Éamonn, Aonghus, Cormac, Neasa, Nuala, Éadaoin agus Doireann. Agus le clann Uí Mhuircheartaigh ina iomlán. Bhí an bhrón orm a chloisint faoi Mhícheál. Cuimhní buan agam dó a fhanfaidh liom choíche. So many lovely memories of Mícheál from when we were growing up. One of my favourites is of going to the centenary celebrations of the GAA with you, Niamh, and your Dad. But there are so many more. He had a gift for storytelling, and every trip in the car appeared shorter and all the more interesting as a result. An enormous loss to muintir na hÉireann but an even greater loss to you, his family. Ag smaoineamh oraibh uilig ag an am deacair seo. Suaimhneas síoraí d'fhear uasal, lách agus cineálta. Go mbeidh leaba i measc na Naoimh aige.

Sincere sympathy to all the family. One of the greatest, you will be missed Micheál. Rest in peace.

When I was young man, I met Micheál in Blanchardstown circa 1980. He made a lifetime impression on me. Sincere sympathy to his wife and family on the loss of this great man.

Sending our heartfelt sympathy to all The Muircheartaigh Family on the very sad loss of a wonderful Kerry Man. His loss will leave a huge void in the Broadcasting world + may all who mourne Micheál be comforted by all the treasured memories he left behind.
May Micheál Rest in Heavenly Peace.

Condolences to your family, Rest In Eternal Peace.

A true legend RIP Micheal

Sincere sympathy to the Ó Muircheartaigh families on the passing of Micheál. I could listen to his voice everyday. May he rest in peace.

RIP Micheál. I had the great pleasure of serving you breakfast a few years ago in Emmet House in Birr. A true son of Éireann.

Sincere condolences to Eamonn and all the O Muircheartaigh family on the sad passing of Micheál RIP.
A true gent and legend.
Mary and family, Trevet, Dunshaughlin.

Sympathy to all Michael’s loved ones. I was a great admirer of his and enjoyed his autobiography very much. His attitude to life was exceptional but I especially admired the way he used the Irish language, mixing it with English so that even those who are not fluent speakers could understand. May he Rest in Peace.

Rest in peace Michael

Comhbhrón le muintir Mhichíl ag an tráth bhrónach seo. Beannacht Dé lena anam agus lena theaghlach go léir.

Deepest sympathies to Helena and the O’Muircheartaigh family on the sad passing of Micheál.
We were fortunate to have him and you Helena to launch our club history in November 2007 in our Sports Complex.
Being the true professional that he was he had the whole book read before attending and was able to recount the various high and low points of the club journey.
He stayed around and signed numerous books on the night.
We were external grateful to him for attending our launch.
May you rest easy after all your labours on this earth, Micheál.

May choirs of angels sing you safely to your rest Micheal - Condolences to all the Family

Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís!
