John O'Donovan RIP

Declan Carty

It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the news of the death of John O'Donovan, late of Newstalk, 98FM, and DCU, as well as stints in Griffith College. I was lucky enough to work with Johnny for many years and to be honest, can't quite get my head around this news. God Speed Johnny, you have left an indelible mark on this world and will be sorely missed by the many people who's lives you have touched in your short stay in this life. My thoughts and condolences are with his son Darragh, his Mum Margaret and Darragh's Mum Avril

Did not know the man but instantly thought of the John O’Donovan from Cork who appeared on many radio phone in programmes over the years. Assume it’s not the same person?

God that's terrible. He was a great producer and presenter. What was the cause of death does anyone know?

Thats what I thought at first as well when I saw the thread title.

Deffo not the same person. Cork radio caller of the same name is a crank whos never done a days work.
