Colm and his sister Brid were steadfast friends to our family dating back to 1940's when our parents were newly weds and lived beside his family on Clonliffe road.

Over all the decades Colm was a constant presence in our lives whether as photographer,driving instructor, listening presence ,wedding celebrant and more recently officiated at our parents' funeral services.

A man of the highest integrity. May he rest in peace Condolences to all the family.

Hi, I’m Brendan Gallagher, son of Nora Gallagher, who died in 1982. Nora was the sister of Michael Gallagher and Colm’s aunt. Fr. Colm was a priest of the parish of Donnycarney and he would drop in to our house on Celtic Park Avenue quite regularly. He was a good man and a great priest and faithful to his vocation to a life of service to others. Keeping him very much in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Our deepest condolences to Father Colm's family, friends and fellow priests from his neighbours on the Howth Road.

R. I.P. Fr. Colm, we have great memories of you from Killinarden. Also many thanks for the All Ireland tickets over the years. Condolences to your Family, Friends and Parishioners.

So sad to hear of Colm’s passing. I can picture him up in heaven arranging the lucrative sale of another Ormonde Hall. He had a wonderfully unique way of conducting funeral services and his masterful direction on the hymn choices was so different and memorable. A truly grate priest.
May he rest in peace.

On behalf of all the surviving members of the Graduation Class of 1950, I wish to express to all Fr. Colm's family our deepest sympathy on your great loss. He was a great classmate and regularly attended our re-unions when time allowed. May his noble soul rest in the Peace of Christ. On behalf of the Class of 1950, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the happy repose of his soul.

Rest in peace Colm, thanks for all of the chats/conversations and wisdom over the years, I always enjoyed talking to you. Fiona (nee Lynch)
