Sincere sympathy and condolences to all the Rooney family and friends on your sad loss of Sean. Judging by all the tributes and comments about Sean, he was a fine young man and a great soldier who served his country with distinction and honour. Your such a loss to all who new him and his comrades and friends in the army will sorely miss Sean. My own son Sean is also over seas on duty in the Lebanon at the moment and I know from talking to him that Pte Sean Rooney will stay in there hearts and thoughts till their tour of duty finishes next May. I can’t comprehend the loss and sadness that all the Rooney family, in laws and friends are feeling right now but I send our heartfelt condolences and pray for your loss of Sean. May he rest in peace. Pte Sean Rooney you served our country well. Rip

Condolences to the mother of Seán, his family, partner, friends and his many comrades. His passing has truly affected all of us who served both at home and overseas. His passing is too close, premature and equally sorrowful. I wish all who knew Seán well the very best of everything in the future. A fine, young man, we can all be proud of Private Seán Rooney.
