    Michael O’Regan, the long-time correspondent for The Irish Times, has died suddenly at his home in Dublin.

    A native of Co Kerry, Mr O’Regan was a well-known and much-admired figure in The Irish Times and in Irish journalism more broadly, having covered politics since the 1980s. Since his retirement from the paper in 2019 he contributed occasional articles and was a regular voice on television and radio, including on Radio Kerry, to which he continued to contribute a weekly radio column.

    He was a vociferous supporter of his native county in all matters, and served as president of the Kerry Association in Dublin in recent years.

    The Editor of The Irish Times Ruadhán Mac Cormaic said: “Michael was a generous colleague and a first-rate journalist who leaves behind a body of work that chronicles a country in flux. His coverage of the Kerry babies case was the work of a highly skilled reporter; his anger, recalling it many decades later, was that of a man of heart and compassion.
