Dear Mairin,
It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of Eoin. I knew Eoin for many years as a valued member of the staff of Mater Dei Institute of Education. He made a very significant contribution to the life of the Institute in many areas: as Head of the Philosophy department, as Registrar, as a teacher of philosophy, as one who served generously on many committees. Eoin wrote and edited many volumes over the years and was a significant voice on the relationship between faith and culture, faith and justice, faith and reason, religion and science. He was also highly respected in the area of Augustinian studies and the work of Charles Taylor. May he rest in Peace in Christ
— Fr Dermot Lane
Mairin, Condolences on the death of Eoin. Both he and Brian shared so many good times in our childhood as you well know. Great memories of tennis in Park Avenue, cricket in our back garden and annual trips to the Spring and Horse shows with our Brian and the Lindsay twins. And our cycling trips to climb Sugarloaf. Eoin is now at peace from his debilitating illness. Nothing to be done. Lots of love to you and yours.
