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.

The site was an âideal location for residential developmentâ, the consultants said and the proposed rezoning would have a âdetrimental impact on the existing school as the sale of the 4.6 acres for residential development is required to support the financial requirements of Saint Laurence Collegeâ.
The development plan did not provide sufficient information as to the circumstances required for residential development to be considered, they said.
âIt is considered that the development potential of the site would be jeopardised, particularly as there is no guidance in the plan as to what criteria should be met for a residential scheme to be considered favourably.â

Mount Sion CBS Secondary School in Waterford has become the first school in the Republic of Ireland to be awarded the status of School of Sanctuary.
The school was assessed by a team from Places of Sanctuary Ireland (PoSI), which includes people active in refugee support work, refugees and asylum seekers.
They classed Mount Sion as “outstanding” for its activities for welcoming and including young people from a refugee or asylum-seeking background.
PoSI is an all-Ireland network of groups who work to promote a culture of welcome and inclusiveness across every sector of society, so that people seeking sanctuary in Ireland will feel safe and equal, and have opportunities to be involved in all community activities.
