Fíonán Ó MUIRCHEARTAIGH

If i can help somebody as i pass along if i can cheer somebody with a word or song If i can love somebody through my whole life long then my living has not been in vain I had the privilege of describing you as my friend your legacy contiues in your amazing family of whom you were so proud The sadness we all felt when you left us is merged with the happiness you brought us and thats my abiding memory

Sincere condolences to Iggy and the extended O' Muircheartaigh family on the death of your brother. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilis.

Comhbhrón go háirithe do Mhuireann agus don mhuintir uile ar bhás Fhionáin. Beannacht Dé leis.
Bhíos thar lear nuair a fuair sé bás. Agus níor chuala mé faoi go dtí inniu, nuair a chuir a chara agus mo chara Eoin Ó Néill ar mo eolas é.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Muintir Uí Mhuircheartaigh go léir ar bhás Fhionáin. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam.

Bernt and I were both shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Fionan’s sudden passing and offer our deepest sympathies to Muireann, Doireann and all Fionan’s brothers, sisters and children. We mourn our dear friend with you but we also celebrate the example he so freely gave of a life well lived, and we remember fondly all the good times that we shared together in Oxford and later in Dublin and in Wicklow. Although we knew Fionan was seriously ill we were amazed at his optimism, energy, infectious enthusiasm and zest for life when we held our long-delayed reunion in North Wales last October, and saw that he had lost nothing of his natural charm and easy manner with strangers of every kind. We also saw that his love of an argument had not diminished with the passing years, and that his experience as a lawyer had only strengthened his ability to sum up a debate and find the best outcome for the common good. Ireland has lost a great public servant and a lawyer who embodied and expressed all that is best in the spirit and practice of the law, and we and all who knew him have lost a true friend and a shining example of a gentleman for our times. Rest in peace, good friend; whenever we hear or think of Ireland, we will remember you with the warmest affection.

To Muireann and family and to Iggy and the extended O Muircheartaigh family, our deepest sympathy on your loss. Fíonán was a true gentleman who was dedicated to helping people. Thinking of you at this very sad time.

Sincere sympathy to Muireann, the family and extended O Muircheataig family, on the death of Fionan. He was an able and influential man and it was my good fortune to serve with him on the Board of the Kemmy Business School at University of Limerick where he served as Chairman. He was not a regular golfer but was good company during the many outings we shared in Limerick and his beloved Kerry. May Fionan rest in peace.

Tríona, Seosamh, Fianna and all the O'Muircheartaigh family, our deepest sympathy on the passing of Fíonán. You are in our thoughts. May he rest in peace.

Comhbhrón le clann Fhíonán, go háirithe le Doireann. Tá brón orm. Fear deas macánta a raibh cairdiúil agus cineálta i gcónaí, san obair --Suaimhneas síoraí dó.

Sincere sympathy to Finn & all the family on the sad passing of Fionan. May he Rest in Peace

Devastated to learn of Fíonán's death. I knew he was seriously ill. We swapped WhatsApp messages as recently as 2 April.

Sincere sympathy to the Ó Muircheartaigh family. I knew Fíonán for more than 50 years. He was 'Best Man' at my wedding in 1972. I suspect that he was the 'Best Man' at most things which he turned his hand to.

While Fíonán was intense and brilliant in an academic sense, he also had a lighter/fun side to his persona. I am one of the many people who will miss him a lot.

May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Michael and Liz Murphy, Drumcondra

Comhbhron o chroi le Muireann, le hIognaid, Sean, Colm agus Aogan agus le clann Ui Mhuircheartaigh go huile ar bhas Fhionain. Ar dheis De go raibh se.

Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam uasal

Sincere condolences to Muireann on the sad loss of your beloved Fionan. I was shocked to hear the news and, regrettably, discovered it too late to get to the removal. Fionan was a true gentleman, had an extraordinary capacity to think clearly and to articulate his perspectives on many issues. His early life training in economics and statistics was complemented in his “retirement” years with his legal education that crystallised in him being called to the Bar to pursue a new chapter of service to Irish society. He was appointed to the inaugural international Advisory Board of the Kemmy Business School and chaired it for a number of years. It was a pleasure to work with him, a joy to engage with him socially and a privilege to have known him.
His passing has left a void in all our lives which most of all will be felt by his grieving family that he loved so much.
May he rest in peace.

Sincerest condolences to Muireann and Fionan's family on his untimely passing. Fionan was a terrific neighbour and a valued Director at our Rockfield Community. He was wise and humorous and always had time for a story. He was always very proud of you all. He will be greatly missed.

I was saddened to hear the news about Fíonán's passing. He was such a lovely man, whenever you met him in the Law Library he would always have a wee chat with you, and give you his full attention no matter how busy he was. He will be missed by all the staff in the library. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Comhbhrón ó chroí leat Muireann ar bhás Fhíonáin agus, chomh maith, le Doireann, Tríona, Seosamh agus Fíonán Óg. Braithfidh clainn a chlainne agus a dheartháracha Iognáid, Seán, Colm agus Aogán uatha go mór é. Fear uasal, éirimiúil agus ardaigeanta ab ea Fíonán. Bhí sé de phribhléid agam bheith i mo rúnaí príomháideach dó nuair a ceapadh é ina chéad Rúnaí ar Roinn na Mara. Níl teora leis an méid d'fhoghlaimíos uaidh i rith an tréimhse sin, agus ó shin i leith. Bhí sé i gcónaí cabhrach agus tuisceanach agus an greann thart an t'am ar fad. Tá a charn tógha ag Fíonán.
