Seán, mo chara, although we may not have served together, the uniform in which we wore bands us together. Your sacrifice to this nation and to the people of Lebanon will never be forgotten. Your duty is done. Rest in Valhalla.

The whole of Ireland is mourning the loss of Seán but none more than his heartbroken family, partner, colleagues in Óglaigh na hEireann, neighbours and friends. He gave the ultimate service protecting and serving with proud and dedication with UNIFIL and we here in Ireland are indebted to him. You have my deepest sympathy for the tragic passing of Seán. You should be immensely proud of all he achieved and the sacrifice that he made. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a an dílis.
