Mary tributes (all deserved)will be paid toSeán----Seán the 20th and 21st century Good Samaratan.
Almost half a century ago Seán saw the appalling living conditions of our Traveller Community, the lack of amenities the hardship for little children----And Wept ----.
He dried his tears and started a campaign, a long hard, heartbreaking, uphill campaign for change and improvement for our Travellers.
He succeeded!
His journey is recorded in a book
"From A Field In Foxrock"
Down the years he befriended, guided and continued to fight for their rights. Today his name rolls lovingly off the lips of Travellers young and old.
Bríd, Seán, Eimear,Gearóid and Cíarán
Your loss is great!
Your sorrow is deep!
Be assured we are weeping with you

To the many others whose lives were
touched by Seán my deepest sympathy
We all have lost a true friend!.
Slán abhaile Seán,
Go ndéana Dia trócaire ort.

Very sad to learn of the passing of Mr Ryan. He taught me Latin between 1981 and 1986 in Gormanston College. He was one of those great and memorable teachers (for all the right reasons) but more than that he was an outstanding person - hugely generous, charitable and compassionate.

I bumped into him and Brighdín a few times in the years since school and always enjoyed our brief conversations. Those who were close to him must be feeling a huge loss these days - my sincerest condolences to you all, Brighdín and family.

May his gentle soul rest in peace now.
— Conor Gouldson
