To those relations, friends and neighbours who attended the funeral in February 2021 (especially those who battled the elements to be with us outside St. Mary’s and at the graveyard during the worst of the pandemic) and those who couldn’t be there but expressed their sympathy, Mary, Brendan, Fergus, Conor, Declan and Aengus and Michael’s sister Anne would like to say how much these gestures, and the many heartfelt tributes to Michael, meant to the family as a whole.
