    Didn't know who he was but obviously condolences to his family and friends. Sounds like he was a proud Irish man.

    I know his daughter, she's a lovely girl. He's a great loss, part of a revolutionary group of poets from the early 70s in UCC.

    A fine and considered man, one of our finest poets, in either language up until his untimely demise.

    A sharp loss on our poetic landscape.

    RIP
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
