My husband is a member of the defence forces and has served overseas, including Lebanon. Sean has not been far from the foremost of my thoughts since we woke to the news of his death. While we awaited more news, the deathly fear it was someone we knew surrounded us, and I will never forget my husbands stillness, sadness and fear as we watched the news reports filter through. I am incredibly angry and desperately sad for this young man's family. No family deserves this. May Pte.Rooney Rest in Peace and may his family find peace over the coming weeks, months and years.

My deepest condolences to the Family and Fiancé of Sean Rooney, a proud Soldier. Irish men and women who serve all over the world as peacekeepers are regarded as being the best by other nations, a fact mostly unrecognised here in Ireland. R.I.P.

Sincere condolences to Private Rooney's family. May his life not be lost in vain; that the peace he was there to build and support may come to those who senselessly ended his life too soon. Thank you for your service Sean. May you rest in peace.
