My sincere condolences. I remember my mother, Dolores Quinn nee Kenny and her two sisters, Monica and Anita spent many summers of their youth staying in their uncle a Mr.Ferris's home, who was the school master back in the day, in the Neale and they were very friendly with the O'Donavans. I visited the O'Donavans home on many occasions with my mum and aunts. May Vincents soul rest in peace.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Anne, Aileen, Ciarán and to all the O’Donovan family on your huge loss.

Vincent was a wonderful man whom I met first in 1981. He was devoted to his family and was also a talented poet, writer and teacher. He was superb company – we all enjoyed his great sense of humour and fun.
