My condolences to Dave’s family and the many friends he made all over the country. Dave travelled every inch of Ireland with RTE outside broadcasts and l was privileged to share his company on many gigs over the years. He was a brave and thoughtful man.
Rest in peace, Brother, your travels are over.

I left RTÉ 25 years ago and not even being in Dave’s department, he still left an indelible mark on my life as well as that of many others. So sad to see that mischievous smile leave us, but he is in our hearts and minds forever. Sleep at ease Dave, your job is done!
