IT was somehow appropriate that, after an illness which he bore with patient fortitude, Professor Muredach Dynan died on the feast of our patron saint.
A man of many qualities, he was particularly attached to his national identity with a lifelong love of Ireland, its language, literature, culture and history.
Upon receiving the anointing of the Sacrament of the Sick, he was asked by his brother-in law, Bishop Alan McGuckian of Raphoe, to put words on the grace that he hoped to receive.
Muredach had no hesitation in expressing his wishes to trust in God completely and to be united with his late wife Mary and his family.
