Dear Noelle, Please accept my deepest sympathy on Sean's death, He was a great friend and colleague. He was very kind and helpful to me over the years and was my own solicitor. Your loss is great. May God rest his soul. Kindest regards. Mai Folan

A mutual friend recommended Sean to us in relation to a case that I'm involved in. Sadly we only got to meet him a handful of times. He was a thorough gent and a great story teller. It's a pity that we'll never get to have a pint with him now. It's hard to believe he's gone. Our deepest sympathies to his wife and family.

With great shock and surprise of the news of Sean's passing.

Sean was a great character and a true idol for myself working alongside him and the advise I recieved from Sean over the years.

He will be greatly missed, Sean truly left his mark in this world and won't be forgotten.

RIP buddy

Dear Noelle and family , and Eadaoin and Eoin condolences on the loss of Sean.May he rest in peace.

Just to say: we are so sorry and so sad...

I was very sad to read of Sean's death in the Irish Law Society Gazette over the weekend and I send my sincerest sympathy to all his family. I knew Sean in UCD and often met him around Dublin in the years that followed before I left for London in the mid-1980s. He was a kind, friendly and amusing man and a good colleague. It is a great tribute to Sean that so many people have posted their condolences here. May he rest in peace.

Noelle and family.

Just to let you know that we are thinking of you at this terrible time for you all.
I had a long chat with Sean at the Legal Services dinner. He was in great form and so proud of you Aifric. It is hard to believe that he is gone. He was a good friend to us over 30 years. We will all miss him.

Our heart felt Condolences to all your family
A lovely Man with a great turn of phrase
May Sean rest in peace

Sincere condolences Noelle and all the family. Much love to all. Emer Molloy, (Molloys Ashbourne )

Niamh and all the Gallaghers, we are so sorry and send all our love. Even though we only met him a handful of times, Seán left a big impression. That is the kind of person he was - a big presence and a big heart. I feel I know Seán better than I actually did because he used to phone Niamh for a chat to check in every single lunchtime when I shared an office with her in the Children's Rights Alliance some years back. I just thought it so caring and the mark of a man for whom his children come first. George and I have lovely memories of him and Noelle at Christmas parties and referendum celebrations since. We remember fondly when we once spotted some of the Gallaghers passing our house on Clonliffe Road after a Dublin game in Croke Park. We ended up having a good old catch up and glass of wine in our house together. Niamh and Stephen's wedding was so full of fun and love - but Seán gave George something of an ultimatum and we were engaged within three months! We will happily credit him for finally making our own wedding happen! Seán was first and foremost a loving father and husband. He was also incredibly shrewd, witty, honest, charming and kind. His untimely loss will be felt enormously but his legacy lives on in his wonderful children and beautiful grandchildren. Love from Emma and George xx

Dear John,

We're so sad about the loss of your dad. By all accounts Seán touched many people's lives for the better, and hopefully that brings you some comfort in this time of grief. He leaves a tremendous legacy in his children and his work.

Much love to you and all your family. We are thinking of you every day.

O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world lies hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in thy mercy grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.

Seán, you will be greatly missed by all who knew you. One of life’s greats.

Noelle. My deepest sympathy to you and your family on your sad loss. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

Niamh, I never met your dad but if he helped raised a woman like you, then he must have been some man. Thinking of you and looking forward to seeing you soon. X

To Noelle and Family - sincere condolences on the passing of Sean. A true gentleman and lovely lovely guy. May he rest in peace. Cruit will be a poorer place not having there each Summer. It was a privilege to have known him down the years. Always made my day when meeting him in Weston or in the office for a bit of sound legal advise and craic. O'Donnell Abu.

Great sadness at Seans death. Loved our chats & Seans advices about his love of Cadiz.A terrific legal colleague. May Sean rest in peace..

To Dear Niamh,

Our hearhfelt sympathy goes to you and all the family.

Dear Noelle,

It was with great sadness and utter shock that we heard of Seans untimely passing.

I first met Sean when we commenced the B.C.L. together.Sean quickly became one of the most popular guys in the class and nothing changed over the next 50 years.Everybody loved Sean,even those practitioners who were on the opposing side in our adversarail legal world over the years.

Colleagues always respected him for his vast knowledge of the law,his thoroughness in preparation,his tenacity and his courage in fighting to the last for all his clients.Those colleagues invariably became Seans friends also.

It was always a joy to meet Sean.He always had the latest gossip and always wanted to know the inside story on the latest political or legal scandal,all the more to enrich or enhance his own version to pass on to others.

Sean will be greatly missed by all who knew him but especially by his friends in the legal world and of course by you and all the family.

Noelle,we are thinking of you and the family at this truly awful time.

My deepest sympathies to all the Gallagher family on the untimely death of Sean . He was a very good solicitor and his advice was always invaluable. I had the privilege of knowing Sean for a long time . Ni bheidh a leitheid aris ann

Our deepest sympathies to you Niamh and the whole Gallagher family. It’s clear from the outpouring of condolences that your Dad was a much loved man and who will be sorely missed by all.

Thinking of you all in this very difficult time.

Fiona and Johnny

Noelle, We were shocked and saddened to hear of Sean’s death. We have such great memories stretching back to our days in college. Sean was always great company, and enriched the lives of all his friends and colleagues. I am so glad we had the opportunity to reconnect over dinner in Nicos in more recent times. We are thinking of you all at this sad time.
Alan & Barbara McLean

So sorry to hear of Seán's passing Noelle. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Dear John, we are thinking of you and your family at this desperately sad time. From all the messages below, it's so very clear that your Dad was such a popular, well-liked fella who had an enormously positive impact on so many people's lives - just like his son. Just yesterday, by coincidence, I overheard two people I don't know very well talk fondly about your Dad. No doubt he'll continue to be a source of inspiration and strength to you all long into the future.

Lots of love,
Brian and Deirdre

Noelle and family, Please accept our sincere condolences on your tragic loss.May Sean rest in peace
