Just a wonderful outgoing person to work with who would help you in all aspects of your job and was great at getting the best out of you.
Donal was a keen Manchester United fan and on a few occasions I had the priveledge to attend through tickets he bought, like myself Donal was a great fan of United,who also new his routes in Ireland and travelled their every year that I have known him.
Donal will be missed by many many people, and will never be forgotten.
Donal
We need to say goodbye although you're with us.
We stand beside your grave,yet you are here.
We miss you terribly and hope you miss us,
But when we turn to you,you're always near.
We talk to you as though you live within us,
Not changed but simply moved in from outside.
I know each day you must a little leave us,
But here,as always,you must be our guide.
You were and are and will be,just as ever,
In many minds and hearts.
No physical event can such love sever;
Death is a dimension,not a line.
And so Donal,goodbye does not mean you are gone:
So long as we all still love you,you will always live on.
Rest in peace
