My deepest condolences to everyone in the family. Richard was a wonderful colleague in UCD, always supportive and kind. I had greatly missed his presence in the College over the last few years, but learning of the finality of his absence still comes as a terrible shock. I am sorry I could not convey my sympathies in person, I have just returned from an extended stay in France.

So sorry to hear of Richard's passing. The ceremony was lovely and the eulogy captured the man I remembered. Richard was a gentleman and always engaged with others with humility. I worked with him at UCD and always found him to be a generous person and a pleasure to know.

So sorry to hear of Richard's passing.
Thoughts and Prayers are with Margaret and all the Sinnott family at this very sad time.

I opened the obituary page on the Sindo and got a shock when I read of Richards death. He was a classmate of mine in Newbridge College from 59 to 64 a really nice fellow I had the pleasure of meeting him few times at past pupil gatherings. May he rest in peace.

Dear Margaret, Gillian and Daniel,

Deeply saddened to hear of the loss of a fine scholar. From seminal volumes such as "Irish Voters Decide," "The Irish Voter," and "People and Parliament in the European Union: Participation, Democracy, and Legitimacy," as well as numerous research articles, Richard made a profound contribution to the study of Irish and European public opinion and voter behavior. On a personal note, I am indebted to him for being a fantastic mentor, Ph.D. supervisor, and colleague who had oodles of enthusiasm for his craft, and it was an honor to work with him. My deepest sympathies to Margaret, Gillian, Daniel, and the extended family on your loss. We are diminished by his passing but his substantial research contributions and his personal warmth and generosity to so many people, ensures his legacy will live on.

My deepest condolences to Margaret and family on Richard's passing. He brought great knowledge and insight to the study of Irish politics. I had the privilege of benefiting from and appreciating his scholarship during my studies at the Institute of Public Administration in the late 1970's. May he Rest in Peace.

Our sincerest condolences to the Sinnott family at the loss of Richard. May he rest in peace. Truly a gentle man who was an inspiration to so many and a wonderful father and husband

Deepest sympathy to Margaret & family on the sad passing of Richard. RIP

Dear Margaret and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Richard's death and mourn the loss of a good friend and colleague. I worked with him in The Irish Times where he regularly commented on the paper's polling about EU affairs from the 1990s. He was a scrupulous and fair analyst with a strong comparative sense.

Our sincere sympathy to Stephen on the death of your uncle, and to the Kearns and Sinnott families.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

As an undergraduate student who took some of Richard's classes in the 1990's, I remember his inordinate passion for political data and analysis that earned him significant national and international recognition. More importantly he was always a kind and encouraging teacher and the tributes to him reflect his importance as both a mentor and a colleague.
On behalf of all Richard's colleagues across many schools in the UCD College of Social Sciences and Law, our deepest sympathy to Margaret and all Richard's extended family. May the warmth with which he is being remembered bring much comfort to you in the days to come,

Sincere condolences to you all on the sad passing of Richard. May he rest in peace.

Peter first met Richard and Margaret in UCD in 1968. Thereafter, along with Mary, we became firm friends for the next fifty years. We went on some great holidays together in Ireland, France and Italy. Our children, Owen, Conor, Niall and Anna became friends with Gillian and Daniel. We shared many happy events, first our weddings and then our children's weddings, anniversaries, and so on. Richard became Owen's Godfather. Peter's and Richard's professional lives crossed too, as they worked together on RTÉ's election and referenda coverage.

We're going to miss Richard's humour, kindness and companionship. Our thoughts are with Margaret, Gillian and Daniel.
