I read this in a meeting today - I'm very sad about it. The man was a gentleman, an ambassador for the Irish language and for acting and a giant on stage and screen.

Also, I can sing this word for word still

RIP. I remember he came to our primary school, not sure why, think it was an Irish language promotion thing. Really nice guy anyway.
