Very saddened to hear of Tommie's passing. Though I just knew him through his reporting, he was always very articulate and clearly had a great work ethic. As I considered being a journalist a few years ago when in college and researched the Good Friday Agreement for my dissertation, I always listened closely to what he had to say. I also watched the cancer documentary a few years ago and appreciated the candidness on his illness. A huge loss to journalism and indeee to the island. Deepest sympathy to all of the Gorman family.
— Feargal Ward

Dear Ceara, Moya and Joe. I'm so very sorry to hear about Tommie's death, what an enormous loss this is for everyone, the country and you most of all. Not only do I share very fond memories with my parents and siblings of our holidays in France together but Tommie went out of his way to help me in the years afterwards when I was interested in journalism. He gave me excellent advice and showed me the connection between local and global issues in a way that has had a fundamental impact on my career as an academic. He was an outstanding person. I send my deepest condolences at this difficult time.
— Alanna O'Malley (Louisburgh)

Deepest sympathy to Tommie’s family on his sad & untimely passing. I had the pleasure of meeting Tommie while part of John O Mahony’s management team with Mayo in 2010. Both of them now sadly departed this world. The tribute paid to Tommie by Johno on RTE Morning Ireland, the morning after Tommie’s death, at a time when John was very ill, says enough about both of them. They are both now together, looking over the Veranda of heaven at lives well lived. Rest in peace, Tommie & John.
