The Family would appreciate if you could leave a message to be put into a book of condolences for the family.
Dear Fiona & family,
So sorry for the loss of your husband and Dad. It was an absolute pleasure to have known and worked alongside Donal. His gentle persistence in getting things done and his wry sense of humour will be sadly missed. Thinking of you all over these difficult days.
Very sad to hear of the passing of who truly was the nicest, kindest and gentlest of men in UL. Donal was most certainly one of life’s gem’s. To his beautiful wife & kids, his parents, family and extended family – our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. Norma B
Donal was a lovely easy going Kerryman in the nicest sense with a sharp intellect and a warm smile. He will be sadly missed.

I was very saddened to hear about Donal’s passing. I always remember him as a very gentle guy, respectful and friends with many in the team. A good listener. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.
Sincere condolences to Fiona and family, John, Hannah, James, Noreen and extended family on the passing of Donal. He will be sadly missed and never forgotten. It was a pleasure to have known and socialised with Donal. Rest in peace Donal.
Dear Fiona, Anna, Devin and Charlotte
I always loved chatting to Donal. He was brilliant for stopping and talking, something we don’t make enough time for. He was open in talking about how he felt, how he was getting on. We all need to learn from that. We have only known him a few years and yet saw what a great father, husband and person we saw he was. May he walk alongside you, Anna, Devin and Charlotte always and May you feel his presence and love and support always. Please please call on us for any and all logistical support, pickups, drop offs, food purchasing. Anything. With all our love. Mairéad, Brian, Lucy and Ciara xx
My sincere sympathy to Donal’s family. May he rest in peace.
