Colm Murray - ‘A great wordsmith with a unique voice’

It was the kind of gathering Colm Murray would have loved.

Friends and colleagues from the worlds of media, sport, and wider society turned out in huge numbers yesterday to pay homage to the much-loved RTÉ broadcaster who died on Tuesday.

It seemed like the entire staff of RTÉ had decamped across the Liffey to Colm’s local church, St Gabriel’s in Dollymount, to bid farewell to a presenter whose love of sport and broadcasting was infectious.
