We were so very sorry to hear about Tony's death. We had come to know him very well through his work with Carnew Musical Society and enjoyed meeting with him on his visits to Carnew. We send our deepest sympathy to all of Tony's family. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Tony's family and his sister, Orla, on the sudden passing of Tony. I spent five years boarding in Ballyfin with Tony. We were in the same class and I remember him for his kindness and friendship. I had the pleasure of meeting him some years ago where we remembered our time in Ballyfin and relived many experiences. Rest well Tony.

Deepest sympathy to all the family and thank you for letting us say goodbye today.
We are going to miss Tony so much. When our children were small and it was difficult to get baby sitters for a whole week so we could be in a show, Tony came up with a plan. Every second year he wrote a part for Jack then the next year it would be my turn. It was so thoughtful.
The cast enjoyed the rehersals as much as the audiences enjoyed the shows. Rest in peace Tony.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le clann Tony. Is mó dea-chuimhne atá agam ar an t-am a chaith sé le Cumann Drámaíochta UCD. Nach iontach an dea-thionchar a bhí aige ar an oiread san daoine. Suaimhneas sioraí do.

Tony has touched the hearts of all those who knew him over the years. He leaves behind many fond memories and a lasting legacy to the Arts in our small town. Rest easy Tony, we will all miss you.
Deepest condolences to the de Barra family.

Sincere sympathy to Tony’s family and friends on his sudden departure from this world. I have the loveliest memories of Tony as the set and stage designer for the opera held every year during the week before Halloween break. He always managed to build it perfectly in his own quiet, unobtrusive way. This was the highlight of the year for us students at The Brigidine Convent School in Mountrath. May Tony rest in peace

It was good to know you Tony, a big loss to all who knew you RIP Tony .

We were students together in UCD long before either of us settled in Dundalk.
