i was so sorry to hear of Fr. Iain passing after a long illness bravely fought. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace. He was a lovely priest, very gentle and caring. Our paths first crossed when I met him whilst at confession and we became firm friends from there on, that was approx 7 years ago.

Fr. Iain was a fantastic poet and wrote a beautiful poem for our wedding back in October 2018.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Fr Iain’s family, friends and Franciscan Family. I had the privilege of first meeting Father Iain in the 60’s when I attended camp at Inverilort, his kindness and religious teaching has always remained with me. I met up with him again when I visited Cork in 2018 along with my partner Murdo. Despite Fr Iain’s illness he was a great host, he spent time with us singing, reciting poetry, talking in Gaelic and sharing his wisdom and knowledge, he also said mass for us. He was a lovely person he will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all the Duggan family on the passing of Fr. Sean. Fond memories of our childhood days in Abbeyside. Rest in peace.
