THOMAS POMPHRETT

We were shocked to hear the very sad news yesterday 26th July that our cousin Tom Pomphrett died last month. Our sincere condolences and prayers are with all of the Pomphrett family at this sad time. Mass will be offered for the repose of his gentle soul.

Deepest sympathy to the Pomphrett family. I had the pleasure of working alongside Tom at the LRC for many years and always admired his enormous ability and wisdom. He also had a great sense of humour and carried his crosses with great spirit. The almost last time I met him was at the bottom of a steep stairway leading to a party on the 1st floor of a pub. After I asked him if he wanted any help up the stairs, he asked me with a grin “Are you going to carry me up!” Above all else, Tom was a genuinely nice guy.

Sincere condolences Emma & Laura on the recent death of your beloved Dad Tom.
May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to all the Pomphrett family on Tom's recent passing. I knew Tom many years ago when I worked in the Labour Court. I remember also and with great fondness his late wife Pat and her late sister Marie O'Hara (nee Roughneen). May they all rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to all the family on the passing of Tom.We were in the same class in St. Clements School and we played together on the same basketball team. While we did not meet in recent years his great contribution to labour relations was known to me and other past pupils. He has left a great legacy which will be passed on by all who knew him. It is very difficult to understand the resilience he had ,particularly over the last years since the death of your mum. May he rest in peace.

My sincere sympathies to Tom’s family on his sad passing. I knew Tom and his family from their days in Woodpark. I worked with him in Bord Gais on industrial relations and always found him very fair. May he rest in peace.

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our friend and colleague Tom Pomphrett. Tom was a pleasure to work with and he contributed enormously to the work of the An Post Monitoring Group. His vast experience and deep insights of the conundrums of industrial relations matters were greatly appreciated by all who came in contact with him. He will be sadly missed. We offer our sincere condolences to his family at this sad time. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

On behalf of the National Executive Council, members and staff of Mandate Trade union can I offer our sympathies to the Pomphrett family on Tom's sad passing. He truly was one of a kind with an ability to achieve a deal in the most difficult of circumstances. May he rest in peace.

Sincerest sympathies to his daughters Emma and Laura and the extended Pomphrett family on Tom's passing. It was our good fortune in Iarnrod Eireann in my time to have in the LRC one of the best mediators in the business to help us solve, what many considered to be intractable problems when negotiating major change in the organisation. Tom was highly respected in the business and a man of great integrity. Always helpful and looking for the compromise but tough to deal with when he had to be. May he RIP.

Laura and Emma
Our deepest condolences to you both on the loss of your Dad, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families may Tom rest in peace X

A great friend and colleague for almost 40 years, we soldiered together as 'Court Clerks' in the Labour Court and for many years in Conciliation. We had fun both in and outside work through travel, golf and other nefarious activities. His straight, common-sense logical approach to Industrial Relations and his intuitive ability to get to the heart of a problem and resolve it made him a true legend in his field. I will miss his presence at our gatherings and can only offer words of consolation to Emma, Laura and his beloved wider family. May he rest in peace. 'Mr Pomphrett has become unavailable'.....R

My condolences to Emma and Laura and the extended family.
I learned of Tom's passing with deep shock. Tom and I shared many IR disputes together over countless years and I have many memories of our chats and talks together. We even went to the World Cup in France and other places.! He was a friend and trusted colleague , a source of advice and occasional criticism...colleagues will know this. He was a loyal and valued friend and his contribution to dispute settlement enormous. He will be missed.

Tom is now with his beloved Pat with whom we shared some great times.
In 1970 Tom and I thumbed for a weeks holidays in Youghal-- it took us two days to get there, among many great memories.
Tom was a thorough gentleman, a very brave and good humoured man despite all his ailments, in later years, bravely borne.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the extended Pomphrett Family on the passing of Tom. His calm and measured approach to Labour Relations in his role as mediator between Bord Gais Group of Unions and Bord Gais Management was a lesson in how to obtain consensus and agreement when it often appeared unachievable. I will always remember fondly my time in H.R. during those negotiations- not to mention the craic in the pub afterwards - contributed to greatly by Tom. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

Deepest Sympathy to Toms family and friends on the sad news of his passing. As a practitioner of Industrial Relations Dispute Resolution, Tom was one of the best. Tom was held in the highest regard by workers and held the respect of all parties as he displayed ingenuity , impartialness , fairness and pragmatism in playing a significant role in resolving disputes between workers and their employers. His prowess in his work can be reflected by the number of disputes that did not occur rather than the ones that did due to his work and the esteem that he held. On a personal level he was a gentleman. May he rest in peace.
