I don’t doubt they knew each other etc, I am so sorry to hear he passed I had the pleasure of meeting him once (at event not personal) and he was a gent.
However if you read that limerick leader acetic let Sinead talks as if a takeaway has closed. ‘Limerick lost a good one, I’ll remember his style’ sorry maybe her English isn’t great or she can’t find words but this wasn’t an opportunity for PR for her. Saying ‘ this is a heartbreaking loss & we are keeping his family in our prayers’ is the done thing here. Sorry but she’s posting stuff with laughing faces & I get they may have been pals but I’m finding it’s not appropriate
